Objectives: to evaluate the ability of the diagnostic criteria proposed by Cerero et al in 2010 to perform an early
diagnose in patients with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.
Study Design: retrospective study with patients diagnosed with leukoplakia at Oral Medicine Service at Oral
Medicine and Surgery Department at Dentistry Faculty at Universidad Complutense of Madrid.
Results: the criteria were applied in 116 patients, turning positive in 40 cases. Out of these, 24 (60%) had been
previously diagnosed with PVL. Most frequent criteria were major criteria A and E, concerning lesion's site and
histopathology, and minor criteria b and c, concerning sex and smoking habit.
Conclusions: diagnostic criteria developed by Cerero et al can be a useful tool for an early diagnose of PVL, as in
60% of the cases, the criteria would have allowed to make an early diagnose of the disease. |
