A 47-year-old female, complained mild pain on the tongue when she was speaking, eating hot or spicy food for 4 months. The patient denied systemic disease except chronic gastritis. She denied the history of long-term drugs, smoking, alcohol consumption, and denied eating cinnamon or cinnamic aldehyde-containing products. Clinical examination revealed local hyperemia on the right tip of the tongue, nebulous and dendritic white lacy streaks on the bilateral lateral border and ventral tongue (Figure 1A,B). A flat white patch was found on the middle right ventral tongue with clear margin and was soft (Figures 1A and 2A). Reticular pearl white lacy streaks were seen on bilateral buccal mucosa, vestibular groove and gingiva of bilateral mandibular posterior teeth with mild hyperemia and none erosion (Figure 1D,E). No dental restoration was found in oral cavity. No abnormal performance was found on the fingernails, toes and skin. The histopathological findings were in accord with OLP with moderate-to-severe epithelial dysplasia of the right ventral tongue and OLP of the right buccal mucosa (Figures 1C,F and 2B). The results of direct immunofluorescence exhibited focal deposition of immunoglobulin (Ig) M along the basement membrane of the right ventral tongue and no detection of IgA, IgM, IgG, or complement C3 on the right buccal mucosa. Blood routine examination, blood sugar, and liver and kidney function were normal. After the treatment of thalidomide for 20 days, there was no improvement in clinical symptoms (Figure 2C). Under the agreement on the patient, PDT was used to treat the lesions of anterior and posterior of right ventral tongue (Figure 2D). 20% mixture of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) was consisted of 118 mg/bottle 5-ALA (Fudan-Zhangjiang, Shanghai, China) and 0.5 mL water for injection and stored at 4 C in our study. The mixture combined with cotton sheet was incubated on the right ventral tongue for 3 h and changed dressing every hour. Subsequently, a 630 nm light emitting diode (100 J/cm) was used to irradiate the lesions and continued for 18 min once. One month later, we treated with PDT again (Figure 2E). At the 1-month follow-up, we found white patches of right ventral tongue were faded away, few reticular pearl white lacy streaks were observed in the ventral of tongue (Figure 2F). At the 5-month follow-up, the initial lesions were obviously disappeared with occasional bouts of pain (Figure 2G). There were no abnormal and no pain in the right ventral tongue at the 1-year follow-up (Figure 2H). The patient was satisfied with the treatment of PDT and no side-effects were noticed.
