ASENSI ANTA, E et al. Factors associated with the malignization of oral lichen planus. Review of the literature. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.3, pp.131-137.  Epub 18-Mayo-2020. ISSN 2340-3152.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0213-12852019000300005.

Introduction:

Lichen planus (LP) is a systemic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology and chronic course that can result in the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OECD).

Objective:

To evaluate the evidence related to the malignization of the LPO as well as the clinical characteristics and the incidence of the lesions that can develop a COCE.

Material and methods:

The MEDLINE PubMed database of the last 5 years (2013-2018) was reviewed using the following keywords: “malignant transformation of oral lichen planus” and “squamous cell oral carcinoma”.

Results:

48 articles were obtained, after reading the summaries and applying our inclusion and exclusion criteria, we obtained a total of 19 articles, in addition to the 4 articles added by manual search. The review is based on the comparison of 9 cohort studies to analyze the incidence of progression from LPO to COCE.

Conclusions:

We should consider the LPO as a potentially malignant disease (0.5-1%), being the female sex, the erosive type and the localization in the tongue as a risk factors for the transformation to COCE. Taking into account the risk of malignancy, it is essential to control the lesions in order to make an early diagnosis.

Palabras clave : Malignant transformation of oral lichen planus; Squamous cell oral carcinoma; Oral lichen planus; Oral cancer.
