Presentation SummaryBackground:- Lichen Planus (LP) is a chronic dermatosis affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Objective:- To study the association of Metabolic Syndrome in patients with Lichen Planus. Materials and Methods:- A hospital-based prospective case-control study was conducted including 75 histopathologically confirmed patients with Lichen Planus and 82 age and sex-matched controls.  Results:- Majority (30.6%) of the patients belonged to the age group 31-40 years. The mean age of patients with Lichen Planus was 46.13±14.9 years. Female predominance (69.3%) was observed in our study. Patients with classic Lichen Planus (54.6%) were predominantly observed. Metabolic Syndrome was significantly prevalent in Lichen Planus patients than in controls (32% versus 13.4%, p=0.005, OR 3.037) and was significantly associated with morphology (only oral mucosal involvement, 61.5%, p 0.027, OR 3.9), severity (severe LP, 58.6%, p 6 months, 55.5%, p 0.001, OR 5.42). Metabolic Syndrome was predominant in females (71%) and in the fourth decade (37.5%). Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure values (>130/85 mm of Hg), Serum Triglycerides (>150 mg/dl), and Low-Density Lipoprotein (>130 mg/dl) were significantly elevated, and High Density Lipoprotein (
