Evaluation of premalignant potential in oral lichen planus using interphase cytogenetics
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
This study attempted to evaluate whether oral lichen planus (OLP) has the potential to progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by comparing the degree of genetic instability between clinically-curable OLP and lesions that progressed to OSCC. Fifteen cases of steroid-responsive OLP and two cases of lichenoid dysplasia (LD) that progressed to OSCC were used for this study. Chromosome in situ hybridization...
