About 14% of cases exhibits concurrent cutaneous lichen planus and biopsy proven and distinct immunofluorescent features. Microscopically, the lesions usually described as clinical entity of Erosive lichen planus, which is the second most common form of oral lichen planus followed after reticular type.
