| Popis: | Oral bullous lichen planus (OBLP) is a dermatologic disease that rarely affects the oral mucosa. It is characterized by blisters that increase and rupture, leaving an ulcerated and painful surface. The objective is to report an OBLP case, exposing clinical and histopathologic characteristics. An 86-year-old female patient attended the service complaining about a "protrusion" on the hard palate. On the intraoral examination, a smooth, irregular, and symptomatic red plaque was detected. The hypothesis diagnosed was erythroplakia. An incisional and microscopically observed mucosal fragments were coated with stratified atypical keratinized squamous epithelium with areas of epidermis, hyperkeratosis, exocytosis, and hydropic degeneration of the basal layer, and the conjunctive epithelial junction presented with subepithelial bubble and focal area of projection in teeth. After diagnosis, the patient was submitted to drug therapy and is being followed up. The knowledge of this pathology is of fundamental importance for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. |
