ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The frequency and distribution of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) may vary among dif-ferent populations. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical-pathological characteristics of OPMD diagnosed in a Brazilian oral pathology laboratory over a period of 11 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All cases diagnosed as leukoplakia, speckled leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and actinic chei-litis from 2005 to 2015 were analyzed. Clinical information was obtained from laboratory forms and histological information was obtained from histological slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin. RESULTS: the final sample was comprised of 684 cases, of which 292 were males and 392 were females. The mean age was 58 years. The anatomical site most often involved was the lateral border of the tongue (23%), followed by the lower lip (20%), and by the buccal mucosa/vestibule (18%). Leukoplakia accounted for 82% of the sample (564 cases). The mean size of the leukoplakia and speckled leukoplakia lesions was 13 mm (ranging from 1 to 100 mm) and 15 mm (ranging from 5 to 30 mm), respectively (p = 0.460). Males reported smoking and drinking alcohol more frequently than females (p = 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). In half of the cases, dysplasia was not histo-logically detected, while slight dysplasia was detected in 28% of the cases. The lesions from patients aged from 41 to 80 years presented moderate and severe dysplasia more often than lesions from patients in other age groups. CONCLUSIONS: OPMD were more common in females in their sixties. Females were more frequently affected in all anatomical sites, except for the lips. Leukoplakia lesions were the most common OPMD, followed by actinic cheili-tis. The lateral border of the tongue was the most affected anatomical site. OPMD located in the floor of the mouth/sublingual mucosa and lesions from older patients presented severe epithelial dysplasia with greater frequency

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the expression of proliferative markers and apoptosis-associated proteins in the oral mucosa adjacent to bone sequestrum associated with osteonecrosis (ON) of the jaws and florid osseous dysplasia (OD). STUDY DESIGN: Oral mucosal samples derived from surgical procedures performed for treatment of ON and OD (10 cases each) were retrieved. Histologic analysis was done on hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides; immunohistochemical reactions against epidermal growth factor (EGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Bcl-2 protein, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Ki-67 antigen were performed with the immunoperoxidase technique. RESULTS: The epithelium was hyperplastic in 60% and 22% of ON and OD samples, respectively. Cytoplasmic EGF and KGF expression; Bcl-2, VEGF, and IL-6 expressions; and the mean epithelial proliferative index were not statistically different between the 2 groups. Membranous EGF expression was more evident in samples showing hyperplastic epithelium. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to bisphosphonates did not alter the expression of KGF, EGF, VEGF, Bcl-2, IL-6, and the epithelial proliferating index in comparison with inflamed oral mucosa not exposed to bisphosphonates.
