Oral lichen planus versus Oral lichenoid lesion - a High level view!
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disease of unknown etiology and autoimmune pathogenesis.
Oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) are a group of mucosal diseases that closely resemble oral lichen planus (OLP) both clinically and histologically.
On closer examination (clinical and histological), it is noted, that OLLs would lack certain characteristics of OLP or may have a specific etiologic factor causing them.
