title: [Lichenoid eruptions of the mouth mucosa induced by lithium carbonate. 2 cases].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Several drugs can induce lichenoid lesions.
  
  
  METHODS
  We observed two cases of lichenoid lesions of the buccal mucosa due to lithium carbonate. Drug withdrawal caused clearing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These cases emphasize the rare nature of this complication. To date only one lichenoid stomatitis has been reported in the literature.
