title: [Lichen of the conjunctiva].
abstract: Lichen planus may occasionally involve the conjunctiva or other mucous membranes. Three new cases are described. Generally, white ridges appear on the palpebral conjunctiva, histological examination revealing inflammatory infiltration of the basal membrane, which is eroded by the infiltrate. The disease could be more frequent than indicated by the literature, but its treatment is usually disappointing.
