Background: Was to describe 14 cases of a proliferative verrucous leukoplakia as a clinical evolution of oral
lichen planus.
Material and Methods: The clinical and histopathological characteristics of 14 cases of OLP that progress towards
a plaque-like and verrucous form were indicated, with monitoring over a period of six to 24.3 years.
Results: The female/male ratio was 11/3, (78.6 and 21.4%). The mean age when the first biopsy was undertaken
was 56.4 years old. None of the patients smoked during the study. As bilateral reticular was clinically diagnostic
criterion, the second most frequent clinical form was the plaque form (n=10; 71.4%), followed by the atrophic (n=6;
42.8%), and erosive forms (n=4; 28.5%). Clinically it spread towards attached gingival mucosa and the hard palate.
In the histopathologic study, there were a predominance of hyperkeratosis and verrucous epithelial hyperplasia.
Three of the cases progressed to a squamous cell carcinoma, and one patient developed two verrucous carcinoma.
Conclusions: Further research is needed to demonstrate if proliferative multifocal oral lichen planus and proliferative multifocal oral leukoplakia are the same disorder but have different behaviour of malignancy for reasons
of origin.
