Abstract:
Lichen planus is a common dermatologic disorder involving the glabrous skin, hair bearing skin, scalp, nails, mucous membrane of the oral cavity, penis and vulva. We report a 28-year-old man with lichen planus occuring in both the oral and genital area. The oral lesion shows typical white lace-like patches and the genital lesion shows annular plaques.
