Objectives Although lichen planus is a relatively common mucocutaneous disorder in the adult population, it is rare in childhood, and relevant reports in literature are still few. The aim of this work is to discuss the etiology, diagnosis, clinical aspects and possible treatment of oral lichenoid lesions in pediatric patients. Materials and methods Two cases of pediatric patients with oral lichenoid lesions affecting respectively the dorsum of the tongue and the buccal mucosa are reported. Both patients were in orthodontic therapy. Results and conclusions Despite the low incidence and the scarce literature, it is important, in pediatric patients, to consider lichen planus and lichenoid lesions in the differential diagnosis of hyperkeratotic and erosive lesions affecting the oral mucosa, as well as the planning of a periodic follow-up is strongly recommended to evaluate and monitor the evolution of these lesions.
