Evaluation of clinical and demographical finding in patients with oral lichen planus: A retrospective cross sectional study.

Objective: Aim: To learn more about Oral Lichen Planus Iraqi patients, including their background information, symptoms, and prognosis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: From the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Department, College of Dentistry, Baghdad University, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 68 patients with a histologically confirmed clinical diagnosis of oral lichen planus and subsequently contacted the patients by phone to evaluate their prognosis.

Results: Results: Females were more likely than males to experience severe pain; the reticular form of Oral Lichen Planus was the most prevalent at 38.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of S100, Alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin, Podoplanin, Matrix Metalloproteinase 13, and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2neu Markers in Basal Cell Carcinoma Variants.

Background Variants of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) appear to behave biologically differently. Several histological patterns impact the concept of low-risk (indolent) and high-risk (aggressive) types in the head and neck. This study aims to assess the biological behavior of BCC variants by immunohistochemical expression of S100, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), podoplanin, matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)neu biomarkers.
