RESUMEN
Gran versus Host Disease (GVHD) is a common complication in allogenic bone marrow transplants and in some cases, it involves the oral mucosa. Therefore, the appropriate diagnosis and timely treatment is essential to prevent ¡ocal complications which interfere with normal oral functions and facilitate infection spread. We report a 17 years old woman with GVHD associated to ¡ichenoid and ulcerative ¡essions in the oral mucosa, which responded to the topical administration of a 0.1 percent tacrolimus ointment.
