Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is an chronic autoimune mucocutaneous disease, of a relatively high prevalence in the population. This retrospective study is about OLP patients, treated between 1997 and 2010. The aim was to present the clinical aspects of these lesions and improve the knowledge about the biological behavior of this disease, in addition to the potential of malignant transformation. The clinical data such as age, gender, location of the lesions, and symptomatology were recorded. There were 76 (1,65%) patients with OLP trough 4593 medical records. 21 attended the telephone calling for clinical review. In the 21 subjects sample, 17(81%) were females and 4(19%) males, within mean age of 46 years-old, at the diagnosis. Most lesions were localized in the buccal mucosa. Two patients showed leukoplakia concomitant with OLP. There are no malignant transformation, even no relationship between tobacco and alcohol with symptoms or clinical manifestation. In this study, it was possible to follow up the alterations between OLP clinical forms and the symptomatology, which probably does not have relationship with drinking or smoking. Our study did not show any malignant transformation.
