Six cases of epitheliomatous degeneration, among which five spino-cellulars and one baso-cellular, happened among leprosy patients showing sores, ulcerations and planter ulcers, are quoted in this study. Here, the authors underline the favorable part of the defects of cellular immunity for the leprous pathogenesis, and the need of using histological exams systematically when noticing any continued delay of cicatrisation. An immuno-stimulating medication should be used for any leprosy patient showing obstinate trophical troubles.

Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac
April 1984
Florid oral papillomatosis is a well defined, not exceptionally observed clinical entity of unknown pathogenesis. The exuberant lesions are characterized by their benign appearance on histology, but this is usually associated with a marked capacity for progression and recurrence and a tendency for epitheliomatous degeneration. Based on a review of cases in the published literature and a series of ten patients treated personally, it would appear that radiation therapy should be formally excluded, and that the treatment of choice is by wide excision associated, whenever possible, with reconstructive surgery.
