Lichen planus (LP) is a mucocutaneous disease with varied clinical appearances. Although the exact etiology is unknown, activated T cells are mainly involved in the etiopathogenesis of LP. It is often a debilitating disease, and the treatment is aimed at palliation rather than cure. Similar histologic features are seen in both LP and graft versus host disease. Since etiological and histological features are similar in these diseases, mycophenolate mofetil has been tried to treat both these disorders.
