    BMC Research Notes, 2017
    Co-Authors: Giorgia Capocasale, Vera Panzarella, Pietro Tozzo, Rodolfo Mauceri, Vito Rodolico, Dorina Lauritano, Giuseppina Campisi
    Abstract:

    Oral verruciform xanthoma is an uncommon benign lesion. Although oral verruciform xanthoma occurs in healthy individuals, it has been also reported in association with some inflammatory conditions. The aim of this study is to report a case of oral verruciform xanthoma associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease and to review the literature on this topic. A 47-year-old Caucasian male presented to the Sector of Oral Medicine “V. Margiotta”, University Policlinic “P. Giaccone” of Palermo complaining of a mass on the gingiva. He first noticed the painless mass 1 year ago. He reported to have undergone allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation 15 years ago for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Intraoral examination revealed a well-circumscribed, sessile yellowish and verrucous nodule upon canine, multiple yellowish and verrucous nodules on the hard palate, yellowish and verrucous nodules on left buccal mucosa. In addiction an area of white striae in a reticular pattern with erythema and ulceration was present on the dorsum of the tongue. This lesion was consistent with a known history of oral chronic graft versus host disease. Moreover, we observed a suspected area of oral Erythroplakia yet on the dorsum of the tongue. In biopsy specimen of hard palate histopathological examination revealed a diagnosis of verrucous xanthoma of the oral cavity; in addiction in biopsy specimen of the dorsum of the tongue revealed the presence of Erythroplakia with high grade dysplasia. Verruciform xanthoma of the oral cavity associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease is a rare condition with a usually benign clinical course but malignant transformation has been described in association with oral potential malignant disorder (e.g. chronic graft versus host disease, Erythroplakia). Very rare cases showed association with oral chronic graft versus-host-disease. To date, only eight cases were published in the world literature. Therefore it could be important follow up patients also for oral verruciform xanthoma onset.

  • Association between diabetes mellitus and pre-malignant oral diseases: a cross sectional study in Kerala, India.
    International journal of cancer, 2006
    Co-Authors: Rajesh Dikshit, Mia Hashibe, Gigi Thomas, K. Ramadas, Thara Somanathan, Rengaswamy Sankaranarayanan
    Abstract:

    Recent studies have suggested role of diabetes mellitus in the development of periodontal diseases, oral inflammatory and neoplastic lesions. We analysed data from randomised oral cancer screening trial in Kerala, India, to study the association between chronic diseases in general, diabetes mellitus in particular, and pre-malignant oral lesions and conditions. A total of 927 subjects with oral leukoplakia, 170 with oral submucous fibrosis, 100 with Erythroplakia lesions and 47,773 apparently healthy subjects constituted the cases and controls respectively for our present study. The odds ratio (OR) for oral leukoplakia among women with a history of diabetes mellitus was found to be 2.0 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.4-2.9) whereas that for Erythroplakia was 3.2 (95% CI = 1.3-7.9), after adjusting for potential confounders. No statistically significant association between diabetes mellitus and oral submucous fibrosis and pre-cancerous lesions/conditions in men was found. An association between diabetes mellitus and pre-malignant oral lesions among women has been observed in our study, although the underlying mechanisms are not clear. This needs to be further evaluated in other settings.

  • Risk factors for multiple oral premalignant lesions.
    International journal of cancer, 2003
    Co-Authors: Gigi Thomas, Mia Hashibe, Babu Mathew, Rengaswamy Sankaranarayanan, Binu Jose Jacob, K. Ramadas, Zuo-feng Zhang
    Abstract:

    Oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis and Erythroplakia are 3 major types of oral premalignant lesions. Multiple oral premalignant lesions may possibly develop due to field cancerization, where carcinogenic exposures can cause simultaneous genetic defects to the upper aerodigestive tract epithelium, putting the epithelium at high risk for development of premalignant lesions at different stages of carcinogenesis. There have been no epidemiological studies on risk or protective factors of the disease. A case-control study was conducted with data from the baseline screening of a randomized oral cancer screening trial in Kerala, India. A total of 115 subjects with multiple oral premalignant lesions (8–10% of oral premalignant lesions in our case series) were included: 64 subjects with oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis, 19 subjects with oral leukoplakia and Erythroplakia, 22 subjects with oral submucous fibrosis and Erythroplakia and 10 subjects with all 3 lesions. Individuals without oral lesions were considered controls (n=47,773). The odds ratio (OR) for ever tobacco chewers was 37.8 (95% confidence interval (CI)=16.2–88.1) when adjusted for age, sex, education, BMI, smoking, drinking and fruit/vegetable intake. Dose-response relationships were seen for the frequency (p

  • Chewing tobacco, alcohol, and the risk of Erythroplakia.
    Cancer epidemiology biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research cosponsored by the American Society of Pre, 2000
    Co-Authors: Mia Hashibe, Babu Mathew, Binu Kuruvilla, Gigi Thomas, Rengaswamy Sankaranarayanan, Donald Maxwell Parkin, Zuo-feng Zhang
    Abstract:

    Although chewing tobacco, smoking, and alcohol drinking have been suggested as risk factors for oral cancer, no study has examined the relationship between those factors and the risk of Erythroplakia, an uncommon but severe oral premalignant lesion. In this study, we have analyzed the effects of chewing tobacco, smoking, alcohol drinking, body mass index, and vegetable, fruit, and vitamin/iron intake on the risk of Erythroplakia and explored potential interactions between those factors in an Indian population. A case-control study including 100 Erythroplakia cases and 47,773 controls was conducted, as part of an on-going randomized oral cancer screening trial in Kerala, India. The analysis was based on the data from the baseline screening for the intervention group, where the diagnostic information was available. The information on epidemiological risk factors was collected with interviews conducted by trained health workers. The Erythroplakia cases were identified by health workers with oral visual inspections, and then confirmed by dentists and oncologists who made the final diagnosis. The odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by the logistic regression model using SAS software. The adjusted OR for Erythroplakia was 19.8 (95% CI, 9.8–40.0) for individuals who had ever chewed tobacco, after controlling for age, sex, education, body mass index, smoking, and drinking. The adjusted OR for ever-alcohol-drinkers was 3.0 (95% CI, 1.6–5.7) after controlling for age, sex, education, body mass index, chewing tobacco, and smoking. For ever-smokers, the adjusted OR was 1.6 (95% CI, 0.9–2.9). A more than additive interaction on the risk of Erythroplakia was suggested between tobacco chewing and low vegetable intake, whereas a more than multiplicative interaction was indicated between alcohol drinking and low vegetable intake, and between drinking and low fruit intake. We concluded that tobacco chewing and alcohol drinking are strong risk factors for Erythroplakia in the Indian population. Because the CIs of interaction terms were wide and overlapping with those of the main effects, only potential interactions are suggested.
