Lichenoid changes in the oral mucosa can be encountered in a wide range of lesions with varied etiologies including immune-mediated disorders, reactions to systemic medications and to dental materials. Dysplasia of the oral cavity can exhibit a lichenoid histology, which may mask the potentially cancerous component. Another unusual clinical disease, proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, can often mimic oral lichen planus clinically requiring careful correlation of the clinical and pathologic features.
口腔黏膜的苔藓样改变可见于多种病因各异的病变,包括免疫介导性疾病、对全身用药及牙科材料的反应。口腔发育异常可呈现苔藓样组织学表现,这可能掩盖潜在的癌性成分。另一种不常见的临床疾病,增殖性疣状白斑,在临床上常可模仿口腔扁平苔藓,这就需要仔细关联临床和病理特征。
