Functional and Molecular Neuroimaging Unit, Bellaria Hospital, Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to analyze the methylation status in patients who presented with an Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) concomitantly with multifocal Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL)(PVL-OSCC).

Methods: Nine patients with OSCC and concomitant PVL lesions were selected. Two brushing samples were collected simultaneously from OSCC and PVL lesions in contralateral mucosa from each patient.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on comparing oral lichen planus and related lesions due to their risk of becoming cancerous and the need to differentiate them from similar conditions.
  • Researchers conducted a survey among patients to collect sociodemographic and clinical data, analyzing this information using statistical tests.
  • The findings revealed distinct characteristics for each type of lesion, with lichen planus showing reticular patterns and the buccal mucosa being the most affected area, while proliferative verrucous leukoplakia was linked with significant epithelial dysplasia.

Oral leukoplakia is classified among oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) by the World Health Organization (WHO). The visual oral examination (VOE) is the most used method for identifying lesions in their early stages. Given that the diagnosis of oral cancer is often late, there is an urgent need for early detection and examination of oral lesions.

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is an aggressive and distinct type of oral precancerous lesion characterized by warty surfaced white plaque diffusely involving oral mucosa. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. However, PVL has persistent and recurrent growth patterns, requiring multiple surgical procedures.
