Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the expression of the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 protein (VDAC1) in various oral lesion types to understand its potential role in cancer development.
- A total of 103 biopsies were analyzed, including samples from oral squamous cell carcinoma, epithelial dysplasia, and fibrous hyperplasia, using immunohistochemical staining techniques.
- Results indicated that VDAC1 expression was significantly lower in oral squamous cell carcinoma and epithelial dysplasia compared to fibrous hyperplasia, suggesting that changes in VDAC1 may play a role in the early stages of oral cancer.
Background And Overview: There have been reports of cutaneous adverse reactions to etoricoxib, a frequently used anti-inflammatory and antipain medication. In this report, the authors describe the first series of patients with adverse reactions to etoricoxib restricted to the oral mucosa.
Case Description: The series comprised 7 men and 4 women, aged 25 through 81 years, 10 of whom had only oral lesions, 1 with mucocutaneous involvement.
