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.
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.
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) has poor prognosis in immunocompromised patients. Skin manifestations, when present, should contribute to an early diagnosis. The authors aimed to provide prevalence data and a clinical and histologic description of cutaneous manifestations of primary cutaneous IA (PCIA) and secondary CIA (SCIA) in a unique clinical series of IA and present the results of an exhaustive literature review of CIA.
