A rare, non-malformative vulvovaginal disease characterized by a combination of erosive or desquamative lichen planus (LP) of vulval, vaginal and gingival mucosae, with a high propensity for scarring and stricture formation. Additional sites of involvement are frequently observed (in particular, tongue, buccal mucosae, skin and perianal LP). Patients may be asymptomatic or, more commonly, present with pain, burning, discomfort and bleeding, dyspareunia, and seropurulent vaginal discharge.
