The distinguishing criteria established by WHO effectively reproducible when all selection criteria were fulfi...

BACKGROUND There are not many studies investigating histomorphological changes in 48 sessions in patients with early-stage MF after narrowband UVB (NBUVB) treatment. Our purpose is to evaluate histological features of phototherapy after 48 sessions and determine which parameters are more reliable for controlling skin biopsies. METHODS Biopsies of 32 patients with early stage of MF, who were t...

A 55 year old male patient came for routine dental examination. History revealed that he was a heavy tobacco chewer for the past 20 years. During examination, several radiating white lines were found on top of a slightly grey background, in relation to the right buccal mucosa. The location of the lesion clearly coincided with the site of placement of quid. A differential diagnosis of lichen pla...

A 60-year-old male presented with a solitary, asymptomatic, erythematous annular plaque on the medial portion of his right distal leg. Clinically, the lesion had central atrophy with peripheral hyperpigmentation, elevation and scaling (Figure 1). The differential diagnosis at clinical examination included: granuloma annulare, angular lichen planus, hypertrophic tinea corporis, and pigmented Bow...

introduction: oral lichen planus (olp) is a common mucocutanous disorder with unknown etiology. while current data suggest that oral lichen planus is a cell-mediated autoimmune disease, it might be associated to s+100, cd+4 and cd+8 cells. because of differential diagnosis of olp and oral lichenoid lesion (oll) is usually difficult this study was designed to compare any probable immunohistochem...

LPP is one of the main causes of primary cicatricial alopecias. This study was performed for review of histo-pathological characteristics of LPP, and for the first time the density of hair follicles in vertical scalp biopsies was compared with healthy scalp biopsies. Vertically sectioned scalp 5mm punch biopsies of 44 cases of LPP were examined(H&E and Alcian blue) according to NAHRS criteria (...
