Bullous Type Lichen Planus: A Rare Case Report

Objective: Oral bullous lichen planus (BLP) is an uncommon form of lichen planus that affects just 1% of the oral mucosa. It is seen in oral mucous, palate, buccal mucous, and occasionally in the tongue. The purpose of this case report is the importance of including lichen planus in the differential diagnosis of leukoplakia-like lesions.Case: The presentation included lateral parts of the tongue, sublingual, and hyperkeratotic areas on the cheek, as well as asymptomatic bullous lichen planus phenomena, clinical and histological characteristics that have been present for 5 years. Systemic corticosteroid was given to the patient who had no skin symptoms. Conclusion: Burning sensation, the BLP's common clinical symptom, which is infrequently observed in the oral mucosa, may not be visible in all patients. In addition, BLP can be confused with leukoplakia when observed in plaque form. Histopathological examination is mandatory for definitive diagnosis in terms of malignant potential
