Introduction Oral verrucous carcinoma (OVC), a low-grade variation of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), is distinguished by endophytic development and a pebbly, mammillated surface. OVC, often referred to as Ackerman's tumor, has been known to involve lymph nodes but rarely spreads to regional and distant locations; when the primary tumor grows, it frequently involves surrounding tissues. Histopathologically, it has a thicker basement membrane, many reduplications, and a large area of inflammatory infiltration that resembles OSCC.

Background: Bibliometric analysis of highly cited papers in a particular discipline brings forward the impactful papers published, the significant journals and the researchers in the field. These studies help in identifying research trends and research lacunae in the field, thus guiding the future research works. Oral proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (OPVL) is a challenging lesion with no uniform diagnostic criteria.

Background: Clinicopathological diagnosis and follow-up of oral lichen planus and leukoplakia are necessary due to its potential for malignant transformation and the need to differentiate it from other lichenoid diseases and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. This study aimed to classify and compare sociodemographic and clinicopathological features among patients with oral lichen planus, oral lichenoid lesions and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.

Methods: A transversal observational study in which oral leukoplakia and oral lichen planus patients were surveyed at the Oral Pathological Anatomy Service and Applied Biotechnology Laboratory was conducted.

Article Synopsis
  • Predictive biomarkers can help identify oral leukoplakia with a higher risk of becoming cancerous, which is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Two patients presented with oral burning sensations and white lesions, leading to a diagnosis confirmed through tissue analysis.
  • The study found specific changes in microRNA expressions and antioxidant enzyme activities in patients, indicating a link between these molecular changes and the risk of malignant transformation.
