Article Synopsis
- Oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) are oral inflammatory disorders linked to a higher risk of developing oral squamous cell carcinoma, with OLL potentially having an even greater risk of malignant change compared to OLP.
- The study analyzed 68 tissue samples (39 from OLP, 29 from OLL, and 9 healthy controls) to assess the expression of immunosuppressive molecules PD-L1 and IDO through immunohistochemistry.
- Findings revealed increased expression of PD-L1 and IDO in both conditions, with more pronounced intensities in OLP compared to OLL, suggesting that these molecules may contribute to the development
