Results: Out of patients, males 84 females 142. Maximum cases seen in age group 40–60 years (122) followed by >60 (56) 20–40 (48). The common site buccal mucosa 128 (56.6%) vestibule 30 (13.2%), gingiva 26 (11.5%), tongue 20 (8.8%), lip 12 (5.3%) palate 10 (4.4%). lesion lichen planus 142 (62.8%), carcinoma situ (5.3%), squamous cell 8 (3.53%), pemphigus vulgaris (4.42%), leukoplakia 24 (10.6%) pemphigoid (13.2%) Most type I 117 (51.7%) Conclusion: poses variety clinical features.
