Objectives: This study investigated genetic polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) -2 and -9 in oral lichen planus (OLP) and their association with the basement membrane status.
Study Design: This case-control study involved genotyping of peripheral blood sample of 32 OLP patients and 106 ethnically matched controls. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) that were assessed in the groups were- rs3918242, rs17576 and rs865094.

Article Synopsis
- Hemangioendothelioma is a type of tumor that typically develops in soft tissues, bones, and organs, with the oral cavity being a rare site, and it can range from benign to malignant.
- The tumor has different classifications based on its histological features, including epithelioid and Kaposiform variants.
- The case discussed involved a misdiagnosed ulcerated swelling in the palate, where multiple pathologists contributed to the diagnosis of hemangioendothelioma, emphasizing the complexities involved in correctly identifying such cases.
