Abstract
The diagnosis of "lichen planus" may be incorrectly applied to a solitary white lesion and to lesions with ulceration, referred pain and lack of response to corticosteroid therapy. In two patients, the diagnosis of "lichen planus" lead to the delayed recognition of squamous cell carcinoma requiring extensive surgery.
