Resumo: Lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease that often affects
the oral cavity (OLP). Its etiology is still unclear, but it has been
considered an autoimmune disease. OLP can manifest in
various forms, with the most common being the reticular. This
is characterized by the presence of white lines on the buccal
mucosa bilaterally. The erosive variant presents symptomaticdebilitating lesions. Treatment is primarily carried out with
systemic corticosteroids. The present case reports a 23-yearold patient with erosive OLP, with a 6-month evolution. For 5
months, the patient underwent various therapeutic protocols
with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, but without
any resolution. In the reported case, despite the patient not
presenting skin lesions, she was referred to a dermatologist
due to the side effects that the medication was causing,
combined with the morbidity of the OLP lesions affecting her
quality of life. As of the present moment, despite medical
follow-up, the patient remains uncontrolled.
