OBJECTIVE We sought to systematically review the literature related to oral lichenoid lesions (OLLs) and amalgam restorations. STUDY DESIGN Cohort and case-controlled studies (no randomized controlled trials or controlled clinical trials available) were reviewed with respect to inclusion criteria and data on patients with OLLs, treatment interventions, and the measurement of outcomes. RESUL...

UNLABELLED Oral lichen planus and lichenoid reactions are autoimmune type inflammatory conditions of the oral mucosa with similar clinical and histological characteristics. Recent data suggest that oral lichenoid reactions (OLR) present a greater percentage of malignant transformation than oral lichen planus (OLP). OBJECTIVE To compare the expression of bcl-2 and COX-2 in OLP and OLR. METHO...

There wide range lesions included under this prototype lesion Lichen Planus. Aims Objectives: The aims study were to histopathological spectrum conditions with lichenoid tissue reaction find clinicopathological conc...

The aims of the study weres to determine the clinical & histopathological correlation of papulosquamous disorders and to know various tissue reaction patterns of papulosquamous disorders. A total 179 patients with clinical features of papulosquamous disorders were included in this study. Biopsy was taken and sent for haematoxylin and eosin stain and examination. Finally clinico-histopathologica...

Lichenoid contact reaction is a type of delayed hypersensitivity to constituents derived from dental materials. It may occasionally transform into oral squamous cell carcinoma. A 62-year-male reported with the chief complaint wound in inner aspect right cheek for 2 weeks. On initial examination, diffuse erythematous area interspersed non- scrapable white striae was present on buccal mucosa and ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Standard or investigative immunosuppressive therapies for cutaneous chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) may prove not only ineffective but also cause serious adverse effects. Repeated exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range 340-400 nm (so-called ultraviolet A1) was recently reported to have a strong local (intracutaneous) immunomodula...

Superficial mucoceles are subepithelial extravasations of sialomucin that occur at the epithelial-connective tissue interface and are directly related to minor salivary glands. They have been described in association with oral lichen planus and, exceptionally, with chronic graft versus host disease. Three patients who underwent an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for a chronic myelogenous...

A 54-year-old white woman presented with a 3-month history of progressive painful lesions on her tongue and oral mucosa. Her primary care physician initially treated her with nystatin and hydrogen peroxide, followed a few weeks later by acyclovir (Zovirax) ointment and a rapid 5-day prednisone taper, without improvement in her symptoms. Two months after the oral lesions developed, violaceous pa...
