Lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory autoimmune mucocutaneous disease with different forms and presentations. It mainly affects the skin and oral mucosa but could also affect genital mucosa, nails, hair, and, rarely, the larynx and esophagus. Since the start of the COVID-19 era, multiple cutaneous manifestations related to SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination have been reported. Different rare cases of lichen planus were reported after COVID-19 infection and vaccination. This report elaborates on and adds an additional case of localized cutaneous lichen planus (CLP) to the upper extremities, which developed after both doses of the mRNA vaccine and improved after phototherapy.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fenugreek as an adjuvant in managing oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), specifically leukoplakia, lichen planus, and oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-one participants prediagnosed with OPMDs were randomly divided into a study group (SG) and a control group (CG), with 10 participants in SG and 11 in CG, respectively. The SG received 2 gm of fenugreek as an adjuvant with standard systemic treatments tailored to the respective lesions: intralesional injection of vitamin A 1,00,000 IU (Aquasol A) and topical application of triamcinolone acetonide 0.

Background/purpose: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by basement membrane disruption, which plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of proteolytic enzymes, contribute to the degradation of the basement membrane. The specific MMPs secreted by keratinocytes in OLP lesions and relevant regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood.
