Women are primarily affected by lichen planus, a chronic autoimmune skin and mucosal disorder in their 40s to 60s. Medication, systemic disorders, and mental stress are some of the factors that can cause it, though the precise cause is still unknown. Middle-aged females are the main victims of the disease; children are rarely affected. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is less common in atrophic and erosive forms. There is disagreement over whether OLP causes cancer; therefore physicians need to keep a close watch for any intraoral lichenoid lesions, and patients with OLP are advised to follow up regularly. This case report details a 52-year-old woman's right buccal mucosa and tongue affected by reticular lichen planus.
扁平苔藓主要影响女性，它是一种发生在40到60岁女性中的慢性自身免疫性皮肤和黏膜疾病。药物、全身性疾病和精神压力是可能导致该病的一些因素，尽管确切病因仍不清楚。中年女性是该病的主要受害者；儿童很少受到影响。萎缩性和糜烂性口腔扁平苔藓（OLP）较少见。关于OLP是否会引发癌症存在争议；因此，医生需要密切关注任何口腔苔藓样病变，建议OLP患者定期复诊。本病例报告详细介绍了一名52岁女性的右侧颊黏膜和舌部受到网状扁平苔藓影响的情况。
