Le Lichen Plan Buccal (LPB) est une dermatose inflammatoire chronique généralement bénigne, qui peut toucher la peau, les phanères et les muqueuses. Elle est caractérisée par un trouble de kératinisation et par le polymorphisme de ses formes cliniques.
Certaines d'entre elles correspondent à une activité lichénienne très intense, comme les formes érythémateuses, érosives et bulleuses, d'autres concernent surtout des lichens plans anciens comme les formes atrophiques, hyperkératosiques ou verruqueuses et hypertrophiques.
Dans la grande majorité des cas, le LPB a une évolution bénigne mais une transformation maligne peut survenir justifiant la surveillance stricte de cette maladie et le traitement efficace des poussées.
Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis usually benign that can affect skin, integuments and mucosal membranes. It is characterized by a disorder of keratinization and thepolymorphism of clinical disease.
Some of them correspond to a very intense lichen activity as erythematous, erosive and bullous forms, others concern mostly old forms of lichen planus as atrophic or hyperkeratotic and hypertrophic verrucous forms.
In most of the cases, the OLP has a benign evolution but malignant transformation may occur warranting strict monitoring of the disease and effective treatment of exacerbations.
