Sažetak
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown
origin, which affects mostly women in the fifth and sixth decades
of life, but can also occur in men and children. The involvement of the oral
mucosa alone or together with other forms of presentation is extremely
rare, requiring a differential diagnosis with other diseases of the oral cavity,
particularly lichen planus. There are less than 30 cases of lichen sclerosus
in the oral mucosa described in the literature and there are no reports
on malignant transformation so far. We describe a patient with skin, oral
and genital lesions of lichen sclerosus.
