ALONSO ROSADO, A. et al. Lichen planus and vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome: Clinical case. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.5, pp.235-241. ISSN 2340-3152.

Lichen planus is a common mucocutaneous disease that affects at oral mucosa, but sometimes other mucosal surfaces are affected like vulvar mucosa. However, lichen planus with concomitant oral and genital involvement called vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome, is a rare condition characterized by erosions and desquamation of the vulva, vagina and gingival. Cause is probably that oral lichen planus affects any other mucosa, and these lesions have the potential to become malignant, we think that is very important an appropriate diagnosis of these patients. Our aim is to present a clinical case of a female patient with vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome.

Keywords : Lichen planus; vulvovaginal.gingival syndrome; malignant.
