Abstract

Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) are diverse lesions associated with an increased likelihood for malignant transformation to oral cancer. The most frequently encountered OPMD in clinical practice are Oral Leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). The use of tobacco is consistently linked with leukoplakia and areca/betel nut with OSMF. Histopathological features of oral epithelial dysplasia, its varying grades are of immense clinical significance to evaluate its ability for malignant transformation. We report a case of homogenous leukoplakia and OSMF, two oral potentially malignant disorders occurring at the same site with high-grade dysplasia and its management using lasers.

Abstract

Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic debilitating disease characterised by progressive fibrosis. The disease is predominantly seen in South East Asia and mainly attributed to areca nut chewing habit. The classical presentation includes generalised blanching with palpable fibrotic bands in the oral mucosa. Patients experience severe burning sensation, trismus and difficulty in gustatory functions, thus resulting in compromised nutritional status. The OSMF has been grouped under Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMD) and has high rates of malignant transformation. Although randomised controlled trials on different treatment modalities have been conducted, currently there is no effective medical management. This article highlights two cases of OSMF presenting with severe burning sensation and trismus, who underwent incisional biopsy for histopathological confirmation and to rule out dysplasia. Both the patients were treated with dexamethasone and hyaluronidase, biweekly for four weeks. Post-treatment there was significant improvement in the clinical symptoms, thus providing the patients with better quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
