Abstract: Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease of unknown origin with an overall prevalence of 0.5% to 2% in general population. It has been considered as an autoimmune disease. Hepatitis C virus infection is reported to be associated with many extrahepatic manifestations, including dermatologic condition such as lichen planus. This review summarizes the relation between lichen planus and hepatitis C virus infection, as well as the mechanism through which hepatitis C virus causes the development of lichen planus, which may offer new insights into the clinical treatment and early diagnosis of hepatitis C virus-associated lichen planus.
