We carried out a prospective study of 65 patients diagnosed macro- and microscopically as having oral lichen planus. Each patient was examined and a complete medical history including information about the ingestion of potentially hepatotoxic drugs was obtained. Each patient was tested for transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, protein, and serologic markers for hepatitis B virus. When we suspected chronic liver disease because of hepatosplenomegaly...References1. Rebora A. Lichen planus and the liver. Lancet. 1981;2:805-6. CrossrefMedlineGoogle Scholar2. MonkPembroke BA.
