A member asked:

If tongue biopsy showed chronic inflammatory infiltrate..does this report mean lichen planus? or are these 2 different things?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Overlap: The term "chronic inflammation" is a non-specific reference to a number of diseases that have one thing in common (infiltration by White blood cells: lymphocytes &plasma cells) but each disease, such as" lichen planus", has its own additional specific clinical and pathological features
