Article Synopsis
- Oral leiomyomatous hamartoma (OLH) is a benign overgrowth of smooth muscle tissue that can occur in various locations in the oral cavity.
- The systematic review analyzed 55 studies involving 66 subjects, revealing that OLH lesions typically presented firm consistency, average size of 1.20 cm, and were often found on the tongue or maxilla, with surgical excision being the primary treatment method.
- Despite its rarity, OLH is important for differential diagnosis in young patients with oral lesions, given its distinct clinicopathological features identified in the reviewed literature.
Oral cancer holds the sixth position in malignancies worldwide; 90% correspond to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Diverse reports suggest that NTRK genes and their receptors are key oncogenesis regulators to tumor progression in human cancers. To analyze the NTRK and Trk expression and their association with clinicopathological features of OSCC in Mexican patients' samples.
