ABSTRACT
Lichen planus is a pruriginous, eruptive inflammatory disease of the skin, of chronic
or sub acute course that may involve mucosa, mainly the oral one. Its etiology is
unknown, and is related with subjective stimuli (nervous, depressive status).
Infections, metabolic and endocrine disorders are also mentioned as possible
causes. Recently it has been considered that this disease may present a retarded hypersensibility reaction. The current work deals with the clinical case of a female
patient, aged 54 years, who was referred by her family physician with antecedents
of psychosomatic disorders, as a result of stress maintained during a long time
period. She had a lesion in the area of the right and left cheeks, and in the dorsal
side of the tongue. It was taken as a non infectious, inflammatory lesion of the oral
mucosa, from which a biopsy was obtained, resulting in the development of an oral
lichen planus. The diagnosis was corroborated by histopathological examination.
The patient was treated in different stages with anxiolitics and immunomodulators,
achieving satisfactory results.
