Esophageal lichen planus is an underrecognized manifestation of lichen planus. It is typically diagnosed based on characteristic endoscopic findings, such as hyperkeratosis, trachealization, denudation and/or stenosis, along with the presence of a lichenoid infiltrate in histopathological examination. In cases where no other manifestation of lichen planus are found and direct immunofluorescence for fibrinogen along the basement membrane is negative, the term "lichenoid esophagitis" should be preferred.

Background: Innovation is broadly defined as the act of introducing a new product, idea, or process. The field of surgery is built upon innovation, revolutionizing technology, science, and tools to improve patient care. While most innovative solutions are aimed at problems with a significant patient population, the process can also be used on orphan pathologies without obvious solutions.

Article Synopsis
- Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the skin and mucous membranes, with esophageal involvement (ELP) being notable but often underdiagnosed.
- The primary symptom of ELP is dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), especially in middle-aged women, and it can present asymptomatically despite the presence of significant lesions.
- There is no definitive treatment for ELP, but topical steroids can improve symptoms for many patients; chronic cases might require more aggressive therapies and could pose a risk for esophageal cancer.
