Abstract:
Lichen planus is rare in Korea and localized lichen planus on the lip without other skin lesions is even rarer. A 77-year-old man has oozing and crusting patches und somewhat ulceration surrounded by whitish reticular elements on violaceous base on both lips with burning sensation and pain. A 63-year-old man has well demarcated violaceous white reticular patches on the lower lip, buccal mucosa, glans penis and coronal sulcus. Clinical and histopathological studies of two cases showed typical features of lichen planus. They were treated with systemic and topical corticosteroids and showed much improvement.
