Gabapentin usually has a good safety profile with adequate tolerance. The incidence of adverse reactions in skin, hair and mucosa due to gabapentin is low. Here, we present a case of lichenoid photosensitive eruption due to application of gabapentin in exposed areas. A lichenoid eruption with skin lesions that are widespread distributed requires a drug history as well as stopping the consumptio...

OBJECTIVES To determine diagnostic value of modified Liquid Based Brush Biopsy technique. STUDY DESIGN 26 oral premalignant and malignant lesions in 25 patients (12 females; 54.23+/-19.77 years and 13 males; 53.77+/-15.43 years) underwent Modified (Liquid Based) Brush Biopsy and scalpel biopsy simultaneously from the same area. RESULTS There were 16 positive and 10 negative brush biopsy res...

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...

We described and analyzed the pathogenic difference between Good syndrome (GS) and oral lichen planus (OLP) in oral mucosa. Good syndrome (GS) is a rare disease characterized by B and T cell immunodeficiency associated with hypogammaglobulinemia and thymoma. GS patients frequently develop oral lichenoid lesions with lymphocytic infiltration beneath the basal layer. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a...

BACKGROUND Certain changes in the microRNA expression are considered to be associated with chronic inflammatory processes and with the malignant transformation of oral potentially malignant disorders. The purpose of this systematic review is to update the existing data on the aberrant microRNA expression profiles identified in oral lichenoid disease (OLD). MATERIAL AND METHODS A search in Pub...

Probably the greatest challenge to those managing patients with oral diseases is the dilemma of attempting to predict which oral erythroplakias, leukoplakias, lichenoid and other potentially malignant mucosal disease (PMD) such as oral submucous fibrosis will progress to neoplasia--notably oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The paper reviews progress over the past decade and the application t...

We report a case of a 66-year-old male who developed an itchy eruption while taking an antihypertonic drug containing eprosartan and hydrochlorothiacide after sun exposure. The lesions resembled a lichenoid appearance that was confirmed by the histological study. There are few reports in the literature of lichenoid reactions to these compounds, so we review the characteristics of themselves as ...

introduction: diabetes can affect organs including the oral mucosa. there is a disagreement about the prevalence of oral mucosal disease in diabetic patients. we therefore decided to investigate more about that. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue pathologies by assessing burning mouth and xerostomia in diabetic patients on the basis of type of diabetes and cont...
