%X Cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) is an epithelium-specific intermediate filament protein that has been investigated in oral lichen planus (OLP) lesions but has not been compared with the expression of CK-19 in the OLP-related oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim of the present study has been to objectively compare the immunohistochemical expression of the CK-19 in OLP lesions and subsequent OSCC lesions that developed over time, to evaluate the change of the staining pattern among OLP and the grades of differentiation in OSCC
