Abstract

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic immune-mediated dermatosis of unknown origin. Considered as one of the most common diseases of the oral mucosa, OLP has been subject of intense interest since its first identification as a premalignant condition. Oral lichenoid contact reactions (OLCRs) are distinct analogs of OLP lesions, in that they are nearly indistinguishable from OLP both clinically and histologically. There is an on-going debate about whether the underlying condition causing OLP-induced malignant oral squamous cell carcinoma is OLP or OLCR. Even currently, a considerable number of patients with OLCR are diagnosed and managed as OLP without searching for specific causative agents. Dental restorative materials are one of the most common inducers of OLCR. Here, we describe a case with dental material-induced OLCR, who had previously undergone marginal mandibulectomy and neck dissection with a diagnosis of invasive well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma associated with OLP. We emphasize the need for investigation of possible etiological factors in every case of OLP or OLCR, as a basal patch test may completely change the course of the disease.

Dental materyal ilişkili oral likenoid kontakt reaksiyonun malign dönüşümü: Amalgam çıkarımı sonrası sonuçların ortaya konulduğu bir olgu

Abstract

Oral liken planus (OLP), etiyolojisi henüz tüm yönleriyle aydınlatılamamış kronik immün aracılı bir dermatozdur. Oral mukozanın en sık hastalıkları arasında kabul edilen OLP, premalign bir durum olarak tanımlanmasından bu yana çok daha fazla ilgi gören bir hastalık haline gelmiştir. Oral likenoid kontakt reaksiyonlar (OLKR), OLP’den gerek klinik, gerekse histopatolojik olarak neredeyse ayırt edilemez, bu nedenle OLP lezyonlarının analoğu olarak görülürler. Hali hazırda, OLP ilişkili malign oral skuamöz hücreli karsinomaya neden olan tetikleyici hastalığın, OLP ya da OLKR’den hangisinin olduğu konusunda süregelen tartışmalar vardır. Dahası, günümüzde halen kayda değer sayıda OLKR tanılı hasta, altta yatan spesifik etiyolojiler araştırılmadan OLP olarak kabul edilmekte ve tedavi görmektedir. Dental restoratif materyaller OLKR’ın en önemli tetikleyicileri arasındadır. Biz de burada, dental restoratif materyal ilişkili OLKR tanısı koyduğumuz ve bize başvurmadan önce OLP’nin neden olduğu oral mukozanın iyi diferansiye malign oral skuamöz hücreli karsinoma tanısıyla marjinal mandibulektomi ve boyun diseksiyonu uygulanan bir olguyu sunmak istiyoruz. Biz, her OLP ve OLKR olgusunda olası etiyolojik faktörlerin aydınlatılması gerektiği kanaatindeyiz, çünkü yapılacak bir bazal yama testi hastalığın klinik seyrini tamamıyla değiştirebilir.
