Abstract

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory T cell mediated autoimmune disease with oral involvement in 30% -70% cases. Oral LP has been found to be associated with a variety of triggering factors, including neoplasia but it is difficult to determine whether the association is causal or serendipitous. We report here a child with refractory oral LP with twenty nail dystrophies, in whom a rare retroperitoneal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor was diagnosed. Although the association of LP and neoplasia is uncommon, we emphasize the significance of considering neoplasia in patients with severe oral LP that is refractory to treatment.
