BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Erosive oral lichen planus (LP) may be painful and debilitating. Symptomatic oral LP has been treated with a wide spectrum of topical and systemic therapies, but few have been evaluated in large series. Hydroxychloroquine is suggested to be effective in oral LP.
METHODS: Twenty-one consecutive patients with erosive, biopsy-confirmed oral LP were prescribed. hydroxychloroquine sulphate 400 mg/day. Symptomatic improvement was evaluated by means of a visual analogue scale into three groups: no change, moderate to marked improvement and complete remission.
RESULTS: Five (24%) patients obtained complete remission, 12 (57%) patients showed moderate to marked improvement, 3 (14%) patients did not improve at all and in one patient therapy was terminated after 1 month due to side effects. Response to therapy was observed after 2-4 months. Side effects which ultimately led to termination of therapy in three patients were elevated creatinine serum levels (after 1 month), visual field defects (after 8 months) and hyperpigmentation (after 24 months). Among six patients who responded to therapy, three flared on stopping.
CONCLUSIONS: Hydroxychloroquine sulphate may be effective and relatively safe treatment for erosive oral LP.
