Abstract
Skin disease is one of the most common human illnesses. It pervades all cultures, occurs at all ages, and affects between 30% and 70% of individuals, with even higher rates in at-risk subpopulations1. Among the various skin disorders Lichen planus accounts for about 0.5 to 2.6% of general population. Lichen planus is a unique, common immune-mediated inflammatory disorder that affects the skin, mucous membranes, nails, and hair. Though this condition is mostly self-limiting, sometimes the patient may have considerable discomfort and disability. The lesions may heal with pigmentary changes and scarring. Malignant transformation may occur rarely. This descriptive study, a prospective and retrospective one, which includes 50 histopathologically proven lichen planus cases reported over a period of eight years 4 months (January 2008 - May 2017). The cases were taken from the Pathology registry of Rajah Muthiah Medical College & Hospital and Rajah Muthiah Dental College & Hospital, Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu
