Acquired White Oral Lesions with Specific Patterns: Oral Lichen Planus and Lupus Erythematosus

Background: Diagnosis of oral white lesions might be challenging. These lesions represent a wide spectrum of diseases with different etiology and prognosis. Oral white lesions can be categorized into two major groups, congenital and acquired, according to their development, and in four subgroups: l...
