    • It has been argued that Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) may increase the risk of oral cancer. Patients with OLP may be at an increased risk for developing of OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma) but a clear estimation of this risk is not available. Here we report a case
    of OLP initially presenting with a clearly benign LP(Lichen Planus) lesion that transformed into OSCC over a course of 16 months. This report provides a clear evidence for (LP) lesion as a potential pre-malignant state.
