The COVID-19 is a global pandemic that is now responsible for more than 3 million deaths around the world. The oral and dermatological manifestations of COVID-19 are being remarkably reported. This report aims to describe a unique case of oral presentation of erosive lichen planus after COVID-19 infection. We present a case of oral lichen planus manifested in the buccal mucosa and the tongue. The lesions were detected one month after COVID-19 infection. Clinical, as well as the histopathological diagnosis, was performed on the oral lesion to confirm oral lichen planus. Despite viruses being reported as a triggering factor in oral lichen planus, very few cases of oral lichen planus after COVID-19 infection were noticed. The immunological and psychological changes induced by COVID-19 infection may explain the tendency to find lichen planus lesions in COVID-19 patients. Our case suggests the possible association between COVID-19 and oral lichen planus. This report highlights the role of health practitioners to be concerned about the probably rising incidence of lichen planus during the COVID-19 pandemic and consider appropriate therapeutic and protective measures against infection. Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid 19) causes pandemics all over the world. Oral and cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 are emerging every day. Lichen planus is a new pattern of COVID‐19 associated lesion. Identification and diagnosis of lichen planus after COVID-19 need conducting entire clinical and laboratory investigation.
