Abstract

Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease with mainly reticular, erythematous, atrophic, or erosive forms. Oral lichen planus is often asymptomatic, but in erosive forms it can often lead to discomfort. The erosive form is especially important because of its malignant potential. Although IVIg is an expensive treatment option, it should be kept in mind as an effective treatment for patients with severe erosive lichen planus who do not respond to immunosuppressive treatments. Here, we present a patient with oral lichen planus who had severe erosive lesions resistant to other treatment options and responded to IVIg therapy.
