Lichen planus is a chronic, autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting the skin, hair, nails, and various mucous membranes, including oral cavity, genitals, esophagus, and eyes.
This article presents a clinical case of a patient with lichen planus affecting the oral and ocular mucosa, confirmed both clinically and histomorphologically.
According to current data, the simultaneous involvement of the oral and ocular mucosa represents a rare clinical phenotype of lichen planus. For this reason, the description of such cases is of particular importance for both dermatological and ophthalmological practice.
