Background: Plasma cell gingivitis is defined as gingival inflammation comprised of plasma cell infiltrates. This diagnostic criterion is non-specific and underlying mechanisms remain unknown.
Objectives: We performed a multidisciplinary clinico-pathological review of cases previously identified as "gingivitis with plasma cell infiltrates", with assessment of putative contributing factors and critical appraisal of the final diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- * The study examined 313 MMP patients, identifying those who were treated with gliptins to see if there was a connection to the onset of MMP.
- * Findings showed that patients who stopped using gliptins had a higher rate of remission, while one patient who resumed treatment experienced a relapse, highlighting differences in symptoms and severity compared to MMP patients not treated with gliptins.
Objective: Oral intraepithelial neoplasia (OIN) is a premalignant lesion of oral mucosa graded I through III according to the importance of atypic cells and the thickness of the dysplastic layers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical course of OIN lesions and identify predictive factors of outcomes.
Methods: The clinical, surgical, and follow-up data of the patients consecutively treated for OIN by primary surgical removal in a referral anti-cancer center from November 1998 to March 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is a clinically and immunologically heterogeneous, subepidermal, autoimmune bullous disease (AIBD), for which the long-term evolution is poorly described.
Objectives: To investigate the clinical and immunological characteristics, follow-up and prognostic factors of adult idiopathic LABD.
Methods: This retrospective study, conducted in our AIBD referral centre, included adults, diagnosed between 1995 and 2012, with idiopathic LABD, defined as pure or predominant IgA deposits by direct immunofluorescence.
