Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous condition which is relatively common in adults but rarely affects children. The present study is a report on an unusual case of ulcerative oral LP involving the dorsum of tongue in a 12-year-old boy. Patient complained of painful oral lesion on the tongue which was burning in nature and obstructing talking and eating spicy foods. On intraoral examination, a white ulcerative lesion on the dorsum of tongue was observed. Diagnosis was made based on clinical examination and histopathological features. We instituted local treatment and patient responded well to the treatment. Although rarely reported in childhood, lichen planus should be considered in a differential diagnosis of hyperkeratotic, reticular, and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa in children.

Oral Lichen planus (OLP) or lichen ruber planus is was first described by Wilson in 1869 and affects about 0.5-1% of the population and 2.6% of the Indian population. It is more frequently present in the female population with age usually above 50 years which is inconsistent with the present case. The rate of malignant transformation of OLP is quite low, although erythematous OLP has a higher incidence. The diagnosis of OLP is done on the basis of clinical examination (oral and skin lesions), biopsy and direct immunofluorescence and its management is aimed mainly at palliation of the symptoms. The basic treatment for OLP includes topical and systemic corticosteroids
