Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, immune-mediated condition commonly affecting middle-aged women. The cause of OLP remains obscure. Strict clinical and histologic criteria need to be met to arrive at a definite diagnosis, thereby ruling out other conditions that may mimic OLP clinically and/or histologically. Although OLP is considered a premalignant condition, the risk for neoplastic change seems low.
口腔扁平苔藓（OLP）是一种慢性、免疫介导的疾病，常见于中年女性。OLP的病因仍不明确。需要满足严格的临床和组织学标准才能做出明确诊断，从而排除其他在临床和/或组织学上可能类似OLP的疾病。尽管OLP被认为是一种癌前病变，但发生肿瘤性改变的风险似乎较低。
