  • Title: Oral lichenoid drug eruption: a report of a pediatric case and review of the literature.
    Author: Woo V, Bonks J, Borukhova L, Zegarelli D.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2009; 26(4):458-64. PubMed ID: 19689525.
    Abstract:
    Lichenoid drug eruptions are seen most frequently on the skin and seldomly affect the mucosal surfaces. Oral involvement-known as oral lichenoid drug eruption-is more common in the adult population and has been associated with numerous medications. Pediatric-onset oral lichenoid drug eruption is an exceptionally rare finding with only isolated cases published in the literature. The nonspecific appearance and latent presentation of pediatric oral lichenoid drug eruption can cause confusion in diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of oral lichenoid drug eruption occurring in a 15-year-old and explore challenges in the clinical and histologic recognition of this condition.
