Lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease that predominantly affects older patients and occurs much less frequently in the pediatric population. Furthermore, oral lichen planus is extremely rare in childhood with very few cases cited in the literature. The intention of this paper is to contribute two clinically and histologically documented cases of juvenile oral lichen planus cases to the liter...

The distribution of IgM and IgG in 20 cases of lichen planus and five cases of non-specific inflammation were studied by the unlabelled antibody-enzyme (PAP) technique. Routine paraffin sections were used. In lichen planus deposits of immunoglobulins were seen in and around epithelial cells, in colloid bodies, at epidermo-dermal junctions, and in some inflammatory cells. All cases examined for ...

BACKGROUND Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease with a poorly understood etiology. The role of angiogenesis in the development of different chronic inflammatory diseases is of great concern. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis. We aimed to evaluate the serum level of VEGF in patients with oral lichen planus compared with normal ind...

introduction intercropping, the agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time, is an old and commonly used cropping practice which aims to match efficiently crop demands to the available growth resources (agegnehu et al., 2006; dhima et al., 2007). intercropping of chickpea with linseed reduced the chickpea yield by 60.3%, although linseed occupied on...

Lichen planus is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disorder affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Ulcerating lichen planus is uncommon mostly on oral and genital mucosa but not skin. Lichen planopilaris, however, is a subtype of lichen planus affection hair follicles and leading to permanent scarring alopecia. We report a case of lichen planopilaris of the scalp with multiple alopecic patches ulc...

Orthotics are frequently prescribed for the conservative treatment of musculoskeletal disorders of the foot and ankle such as pes cavus or pes planus. Pes cavus is defined as having a high arch whereas pes planus is defined as having a low arch in the foot. The normal population is considered to have an arch in between pes cavus and pes planus. Orthotics are thought to alter the motion of the b...

BACKGROUND Lichen planus is recognized as an inflammatory disease of the skin with different morphologic patterns. Different treatment modalities, including topical and systemic corticosteroids, methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine, topical calcineurin inhibitors, and psoralen plus UVA (PUVA), have been suggested for lichen planus. Although the efficacy of narrowband UVB (NBUVB) for treatme...

Actinic lichen planus (ALP) is a distinct variant of lichen planus mainly involving teenagers with an Asian racial profile. Three clinical types of ALP have been described: annular, pigmented, and dyschromic. We report an ALP with unusual presentation in a 56-year-old woman with no relevant medical history, which was clinically suggestive of actinic keratosis. Histological findings refined the ...
