BACKGROUND AND AIM: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease. The progression of OLP to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has generated a longstanding controversy about the details of this malignant transformation potential. This study aimed to do a systematic review on the molecular markers related to the malignant transformation of OLP.METHODS: We searched the...

malignant lymphoma is the neoplastic transformation of cells, mostly originating from lymphoid tissues. malignant lymphoma has two major subtypes: hodgkin and non-hodgkin lymphoma. malignant lymphoma is the most common neoplasm in 3rd and 4th decades of life and more than two third of affected patients presented painless peripheral lymphadenopathy. involvement of waldeyer’s ring, epitrochlear a...

Plasmablastic lymphoma is a unique AIDS-related lymphoma, which was first described in the jaws and oral cavity of HIV-infected persons about a decade ago.4,5 Awareness of this distinctive lymphoma can prevent misdiagnosis by the clinician (eg, as odontogenic cellulitis) or the pathologist (eg, as a nonlymphoid malignancy). Since the original reports of plasmablastic lymphoma, it has been descr...

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on the parotid gland is a relatively rare occurrence among head and neck tumors. The mass of parotid gland lymphoma cannot be distinguished from other benign masses of the parotid gland; therefore, it is important to consider lymphoma in the differential diagnosis when examining parotid swellings and masses. Parotid gland lymphoma is most likely to be B-cell, non-Hodgkin'...

Increased expression of Bcl-2 protein has been demonstrated in various cancerous and precancerous lesions. The B-cell lymphoma-2 gene is a proto-oncogene that inhibits apoptosis, therefore keeping the cell alive. Mutations leads to an overexpression products leading apoptosis impairment resulting neoplastic changes as consequence. Hence, objective study was investigate fibro epithelial polyp (F...

Though oral candidosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that commonly affects immunocompromised patients, little is known of its occurrence as a complication of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This paper reports a case of oral candidosis in a 20-year-old Indonesian woman with this lymphoproliferative disease. She presented with acute pseudomembranous candidosis on the dorsum and lateral borders of ...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to present 2 infrequent cases pseudolymphoma in the oral cavity, to discuss their locations and to emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis for the prognosis. Methods: Excisional biopsies were performed in a 34 year-old women complaining for erythematous lesion in the oral floor and in a 44 year-old man who had a bluish lesion and erythema in the ...

BACKGROUND The head and neck is the second most common region for the extra-nodal lymphomas after that of gastrointestinal tract. Approximately 2.5% of malignant lymphoma arises in the oral and para-oral region. In this paper we report two cases of early stage head and neck lymphoma which were managed successfully with chemotherapy and a review of the related literature. CASES PRESENTATION Th...

Myiasis is due to the opportunistic dipterous larvae feeding on viable or necrotic tissues of the host occurring throughout the world. We report a case of oral myiasis in an immune-compromised patient suffering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We would like to emphasize that such ectoparasitic infections may happen in immunocompromised patients and oral hygiene should be evaluated in all of these pat...

In patients with atypical Crohn's disease features, including severe oral ulcerations and resistance to standard treatment, the possibility of a mature clonal CD8+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder should be investigated. Clinicians should be aware of this differential diagnosis because CD8+ T-cell lymphoma prognosis can be remarkably favorable upon oral treatment with cyclophosphamide.
