Abstract

Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disorder of the skin including the scalp, the nails, and the oral and genital mucosae. Ocular, oesophageal, bladder, nasal, laryngeal, otic, gastric, and anal involvement has been documented. In this report, we describe a unique case of orogenital lichen planus affecting the external urinary meatus, masquerading as sexually transmitted urethritis and erosive genital disease.
