METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed in online databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, EMBASE. In addition, in order to identify reports not otherwise identifiable, an analysis of the gray literature was performed on google scholar and in Open Gray.
RESULTS: By literature analysis, it emerged that most cases were reported from India. The mean age at time of diagnosis of the disease was 11 years, ranging from 3 to 17 years. The most frequent pattern was the reticular pattern followed by plaque-like, erosive, atrophic, sclerosus, and bullous. The buccal mucosa was the most involved oral site, followed by the tongue, lips and gingiva.
CONCLUSIONS: Although Oral Lichen Planus in children is rare, it may cause oral discomfort and need to be differentiated from other oral white lesions and/or chronic ulcers.
方法:在包括PubMed,Scopus,WebofScience,科学直接,Embase.此外,为了识别无法以其他方式识别的报告,在谷歌学者和OpenGray中对灰色文献进行了分析。
结果:通过文献分析,据报道,大多数病例来自印度。确诊时平均年龄为11岁,从3到17年不等。最常见的模式是网状模式,其次是斑块状,侵蚀性,萎缩性,硬化,还有bullous.口腔黏膜是最受累的口腔部位,接着是舌头,嘴唇和牙龈。
结论:尽管儿童口腔扁平苔藓很少见,它可能会导致口腔不适,需要与其他口腔白色病变和/或慢性溃疡区分开来。
