Squamous cell carcinoma arising in an oral lichenoid lesion
Article Abstract:
The conversion of oral lichen planus (OLP) to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has created controversy about the true nature of OLP, and highlights the need to verify its clinical diagnosis histologically. In view of both the common occurrence of OLP and unresolved issues regarding its premalignant potential, the need for histologic confirmation and close follow-up of patients with clinical lesions that have lichenoid features is illustrated.
