No pic seen. Four types of oral lichenoid lesions (OLLs) can be distinguished, being 1) Amalgam restoration, topographically associated lesions, 2) Drug related lichenoid lesions, 3) Lichenoid lesions in chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD), and 4) Unclassified (e.g. erythematous changes limited to the gingiva without signs of ?classic? oral lichen planus elsewhere in the oral cavity, or lesions that have a lichen planus like aspect but that lack one or more characteristic clinical features, such as bilateral presentation) TREATMENT 1) Replacement of amalgam restorations 2) Withdrawal of the drug 3) Oral lichen lesions in chronic in graft versus host disease are usually managed with local corticosteroids or other drugs such as tacrolimus. 4) As in OLP the question arises whether one or all types of oral lichenoid lesions are to be considered a potentially malignant disorder In the absence of known etiological factors, the taking of a biopsy should be considered, particularly in case of a non-reticular lesion, in order to exclude the possibility of epithelial dysplasia or even carcinoma in situ or invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The term ?lichenoid dysplasia? is confusing and, therefore, should be avoided.
