Oral lichen planus, the mucosal counterpart affects 0.5-2.0% of the general population and often seen in the fifth to sixth decades of life. The lesion is frequently seen in women. Since it is considered a potentially malignant disorder, early diagnosis with timely management and regular follow-up is very important to avoid further complications. This paper reports a case of atrophic lichen planus, highlights the classic picture of atrophic lichen planus, discusses the differential diagnoses and timely management and follow-up.
