1/11. dyskeratosis congenita: report of a case.

    dyskeratosis congenita is a rare multisystem condition involving mainly the ectoderm. It is characterized by a triad of reticular skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy and leukoplakia of mucous membranes. Oral and dental abnormalities may also be present. Complications are a predisposition to malignancy and bone marrow involvement with pancytopenia. The case of a 14-year-old girl is described who presented with several of the characteristic systemic features of this condition, together with the following oral features: hypodontia, diminutive maxillary lateral incisors, delayed dental eruption, crowding in the maxillary premolar region, short roots, poor oral hygiene, gingival inflammation and bleeding, alveolar bone loss, caries and a smooth atrophic tongue with leukoplakia. Although this condition is rare, dental surgeons should be aware of the dental abnormalities that exist and the risk of malignant transformation within the areas of leukoplakia.

2/11. Oral white sponge naevus: case report.

    The clinical appearances of white sponge naevus may mimic other oral white lesions, including premalignant leukoplakia but, unlike leukoplakia, white sponge naevus does not have malignant potential. This article presents a case of an irregular white lesion on the oral mucosa with findings suggestive of white sponge naevus.

3/11. Oral-dental findings in dyskeratosis congenita.

    A 13-yr-old girl with dyskeratosis congenita is presented. Besides oral leukoplakia and nail dystrophies, there was evidence of pancytopenia, growth retardation, alopecia, mental retardation and microcephaly. The oral findings included caries, gingival recession, short-blunted roots, gingival bleeding, tooth mobility and severe alveolar bone loss resembling juvenile periodontitis.

4/11. darier disease: a case report.

    The diagnosis of darier disease of the oral mucosa was made only after biopsying a leukoplakia-like lesion of the palate.

5/11. Smokeless tobacco addiction: a threat to the oral and systemic health of the child and adolescent.

    The use of smokeless tobacco (ST) within the united states has increased greatly in recent years, especially among adolescent boys and young men. Recent national data completed from several large scale studies indicate that 10-12 million Americans use some form of ST. Representing a significant systemic and oral health risk, ST usage can produce a wide range of negative effects on both soft and hard oral tissues. These oral conditions include bad breath, discolored teeth and restorative materials, excessive tooth surface wear (abrasion), decreased ability to taste and smell, gingival (gum) recession, advanced periodontal soft and hard tissue destruction, tooth loss, soft tissue erythema and leukoplakia. Long-term ST usage is directly correlated to an increased risk of cancer of the mouth, larynx, throat and esophagus. Much of the destruction of oral tissues is related to the localization of the tobacco quid; i.e., it is habitually held in only one spot in the mouth. nicotine from ST can activate the sympathetic nervous system thereby significantly increasing heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac stroke volume and output and coronary blood flow. A common misconception is that ST is a 'safe' alternative to smoking cigarettes. Several recent Surgeon General's Reports list ST as being addictive. It is highly possible that ST users will 'graduate' to cigarettes if they eventually conclude that these products are socially unacceptable, inconvenient or out of vogue. Health professionals, educators, parents and schoolchildren need to be informed about the significant health risks associated with ST use.

6/11. dyskeratosis congenita in two male cousins.

    dyskeratosis congenita is reported in two male Singaporean Chinese cousins. The family pedigree is presented. lichen planus or lichenoid lesions, instead of leukoplakia, was the manifestation in the oral cavity. The mode of inheritance and the differential diagnosis of Fanconi's anaemia are discussed. Dental findings are emphasised as such information is lacking in previously reported cases. One of the subjects expired of aplastic anaemia, which together with oral malignancy, is one fatal complication of this disease.

7/11. Leukoedema of the oral mucosa. Possibly an acquired white sponge nevus.

    Leukoedema is a white or whitish-gray edematous lesion of the buccal and labial oral mucosa. The lesions may be diffuse or patchy, and are usually asymptomatic. Leukoedema may be confused with leukoplakia, Darier's disease, white sponge nevus, pachyonychia congenita, or candidal infection. The condition is seen most frequently among black men. The histologic appearance simulates that of white sponge nevus. Symptomatic leukoedema seems to respond to topical application of tretinoin.

8/11. Oral squamous cell carcinoma in a case of dyskeratosis congenita.

    oral manifestations of dyskeratosis congenita (DCG) have received little attention in dental literature. This report is a case of dyskeratosis congenita in a 17-year-old female which was associated with oral lesions such as leukoplakia, superimposed candidal infection, desquamative gingivitis, and severe periodontitis. Histopathologic examination of the granular lesion on the right lateral border of the dorsum of the tongue showed well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Etiopathogenesis, clinical features, and laboratory findings of this disease are discussed.

9/11. Verruciform xanthoma. Case report and literature review.

    Verruciform xanthoma is a relatively uncommon lesion. Half of the reported cases occurred in the gingiva or alveolar ridge. In most cases, the clinical impressions are papilloma or verrucous carcinoma, which demonstrates the importance of the clinical and pathological recognition of this lesion. The cause of pathogenesis is still unknown since the first report in 1971. There are some cases reported in conjunction with leukoplakia, carcinoma in situ, pemphigus, and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), which merits close evaluation of this disease. This article reports two cases of verruciform xanthoma and reviews the evidence of its pathogenesis from the available literature.

10/11. Oral secondary syphilis in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection.

    This report describes a case of secondary syphilis in a patient with the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) in whom the main clinical presentation of the disease was an extensive oral lesion. Few reports in the literature have focused on oral manifestations of syphilis in hiv-infected patients; most of these reports have dealt with a rare manifestation of secondary syphilis, the ulceronodular variety or lues maligna. However, in the case reported here the lesions were painless, smooth, white, oral plaques and papules on an erythematous base with a serpentine and reddish outline corresponding to the description of mucous patches. The differential diagnosis of this lesion may include oral squamous carcinoma, leukoplakia, erythroleukoplakia, candidosis, lichen planus, and granulomatous diseases. This case report emphasizes the importance of considering secondary syphilis in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions in hiv-infected patients, reinforces the importance of follow-up on the patient, and highlights the consideration for routine serologic testing for syphilis in all hiv-infected patients.
