Treatment of recalcitrant erosive oral lichen planus and desquamative gingivitis with oral apremilast.
JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGICAL CASE REPORTS(2017)
摘要
Background: Erosive oral lichen planus and desquamative gingivitis are uncommon but severe debilitating variants of oral lichen planus. Treatment of these presentations is difficult and challenging. Main observation: A 44-year-old woman was referred to the dermatology clinic with chronic painful lichen planus-related gingivitis and buccal erosions. She has failed multiple treatments including topical clobetasol and tacrolimus, intralesional corticosteroids and several systemic and immunosuppressive agents. Following completion of three months of treatment with oral apremilast at a dose of 30 mg twice daily, significant improvement was noted in her disease activity. Conclusion: Oral apremilast may be a safe and effective treatment for erosive oral lichen planus.
