Abstract

Miscellany represents frosted and hyperaemic/ frosted oral mucosal patches. The typical reticular oral lichen planus (OLP) can be distinguished clinically. Lesions elucidating a limited but discriminative morphology or lesions of a specified, definitive aetiology and are equivalent to OLP are alluded to as oral lichenoid reaction or oral lichenoid lesions (OLL’s). Diagnostic precision is aspired for, as the management of OLP and OLL”s is contradistinctive. The categorical oral condition is denominated as ISOLATED OLP. When the oral cavity or other mucosal sites demonstrate a paucity of features of the classic Lichen Planus, to arrive at a conclusion of a plaque like or erythematous OLP can be daunting as the histopathology is incapable of segregating the multitudinous variations of the OLL’s and OLP. With the paucity of a discernible aetiology, a histological assessment is mandated, chiefly in the non-reticular cases, in order to perceive epithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ or invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The label lichenoid dysplasia complicates the terminologies and diagnosis and hence should be withdrawn.
