Resumo
Oral lichen planus is one of the most common dermatological diseases presenting in the oral cavity; the prevalence in the general population is 1% to 2%. Although relatively frequent, oral lichen planus is the target of much controversy, especially in relation to its potential for malignancy. Aim: This study aimed to make clinical and histopathological considerations regarding oral lichen planus to increase the level of knowledge about this condition among health professionals, underlining the importance of long-term follow-up of these patients. Conclusion: The possibility of this lesion to turn malignant justifies the importance of long term follow up for patients with such disease. © Revista Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia.
