Lichen planus is a chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disease, which can affect the skin, hair, nails, and mucosa.

Concomitant involvement of the oral and vaginal mucosa, known as vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome of lichen planus, is an infrequent and severe variant of lichen planus characterized by erosions or peeling of the mucosa: vulvar, vaginal, and oral gingival, with a predilection for formation of scars and stenosis.

Of benign evolutionary course, although sometimes it can suffer a malignant degeneration.

We present the case of a 68-year-old female patient diagnosed with vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome.

Keywords : oral lichen planus; vulvovaginal gingival syndrome; vaginal agglutination.
