  • Title: Oral lichen planus: the evidence regarding potential malignant transformation.
    Author: Krutchkoff DJ, Cutler L, Laskowski S.
    Journal: J Oral Pathol; 1978 Feb; 7(1):1-7. PubMed ID: 418159.
    Abstract:
    A critical review of the literature was undertaken to determine if there is valid data to support the contention that oral lichen planus represents a disease with significant potential for malignant degeneration. Although there are reports alleging such a relationship, there is insufficient documented evidence to state with any degree of confidence that oral lichen planus, in itself, represents a premalignant state.
