A 14-year-old boy was initially diagnosed with erosive oral lichen planus based on clinical and histopathological findings. However, the atypical clinical course and resistance to immunosuppressive therapy raised suspicion for an autoinflammatory disorder or inborn error of immunity. Genetic testing revealed a pathogenic SH2D1A mutation, confirming X-linked lymphoproliferative disease type 1 (XLP-1) in the absence of Epstein-Barr virus exposure. This case highlights oral mucosal lesions as a potential early, EBV-independent manifestation of XLP-1 and emphasizes the importance of considering monogenic immune disorders in persistent, treatment-refractory mucosal disease.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology, which is an oral potentially malignant disorder. Many investigators suggest that OLP may be a localized autoimmune response caused by cell-mediated autoimmunity to basal cells. However, it remains unclear whether allergens play a role in the pathogenesis of OLP.

Background: This systematic review aims to analyze the effectiveness of the combination of herbal medicine and corticosteroids in oral lichen planus (OLP) management. By providing an updated insight into the medicinal properties of this combined treatment approach, the review seeks to address the current gap in the understanding of its therapeutic potential for this chronic premalignant disorder.
Materials And Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WanFang databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials comparing Chinese patent medicine (CPM) with corticosteroids and corticosteroids alone in treating OLP.

The term acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation (ADMH) was introduced to unify Riehl's melanosis (RM), lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP), and related entities. These are cosmetically distressing pigmentary disorders that pose therapeutic challenges. To investigate the efficacy and safety of oral isotretinoin in treating ADMH, we conducted a muticenter retrospective study of patients with ADMH treated with oral isotretinoin between 2014 and 2024.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with limited topical treatment options and long-term corticosteroid dependency. This study investigates a novel atorvastatin-loaded hyalurosomal gel (ATV-Hyalugel) as a topical adjuvant to reduce systemic corticosteroid use in severe OLP. The objective of the study is to develop, optimize, characterize ATV-Hyalugel and evaluate its clinical efficacy in a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is T cell-mediated inflammatory disease affecting the oral mucosa, and its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood.
Objective: This study aimed to screen for OLP-related hub genes and construct a network of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to explore the crucial mechanisms involved in the disease.
Methods: Proteomic and transcriptomic sequencing were performed on oral mucosa collected from OLP patients and healthy participants, respectively.
