Background and Aim: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, inflammatory, T-cell-mediated autoimmune oral mucosal disease. Oral lichenoid lesions develop as a type IV hypersensitivity reaction. Both of these entities are potential precancerous conditions; this adds to their clinical significance. The purpose of this literature review was to detect the similarities and the differences of these le...

objective: oral non- hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl) is a relatively rare neoplasm that may develop in the soft tissues or jaw bones, with or without node or marrow involvement. oral lymphomas are often difficult to diagnose as there are no characteristic clinical features and usually appear as non-tender swellings.   case: we describe clinical, radiographic, histopathological and immunohistochemical ...

The early diagnosis of oral cancer and precancer is important because oral cancer is usually well advanced at the time of diagnosis, having spread to regional lymph nodes in a substantial percentage of cases. The earlier the diagnosis is made, the better the prognosis. Several diagnostic methods that are used, such as stomatoscopy, toluidine blue staining, oral exfoliative cytology, histopathol...

Primary oral melanomas are uncommon malignant neoplasm of melanocytes origin. The most common site of oral melanoma is maxillary gingiva and hard palate. Oral mucosal melanoma exhibit a pathobiological behavior and clinical features different from cutaneous melanomas. Oral melanomas are often clinically silent which may consequently result in delayed diagnosis; thus, making the prognosis extrem...

BACKGROUND Oral leukoplakia is a potentially malignant disorder of the oral cavity. Leukoplakias with chances of undergoing malignant transformation owing to the presence of dysplastic changes may not be clinically distinguishable from leukoplakias without dysplasia. The study was carried out to evaluate the usefulness of biopsy in assessing the clinico-pathologic correlations of oral leukoplak...

Oral nodular chronic hyperplastic candidiasis (CHC) is a rare subset of oral CHC, relatively uncommon condition associated with immunosuppression. We present case 73-year-old female CHC the tongue and medical history noted for type 2 diabetes. Additionally, we discuss diagnosis, management, conditions potentially CHC.
