Abstract

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) and chronic hepatitis C association have been widely discussed. Here, we presented a case of extensive, erosive OLP in a hepatitis C virus-positive patient for whom clinical management was challenging. Full remission was obtained after topical corticosteroid application and several sessions of oral cavity sanitation.
