Depigmentation Outcomes in Pigmented Oral Lichen Planus Managed With Mycophenolate Mofetil.Clin Case Rep 2026 Jun; 14(6):e72765.CC
Abstract
Pigmented oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, immune-mediated mucosal disorder associated with dark black or brown discoloration secondary to the excess melanin deposition. This medical condition is often accompanied by the typical white (reticular) or red (erosive) OLP features and is refractory to conventional therapy. We report a case of OLP which was successfully managed with oral mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), resulting in significant symptomatic relief and reduction of hyperpigmentation. MMF offers a safe and effective systemic option for persistent pigmented OLP.
