Lichenoid Mucosal Reaction to Rituximab

Abstract

A case of rituximab-induced oral lichenoid drug reaction in a patient with follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma is presented. In light of the wide use of rituximab for the treatment of lymphoma and the increasing use for autoimmune diseases, awareness and recognition of this unusual side effect of treatment with rituximab is critical to allow for prompt management to reduce morbidity.
