Oral Hairy Leukoplakia in Immunocompetent Patients Revisited with Literature Review
Tóm tắt
Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) related lesion seen in severely immunocompromised patients especially, those with concomitant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It has been rarely reported in immunocompetent patients. OHL most often presents on the lateral border of the tongue as an asymptomatic, white, and corrugated plaque that does not rub off. With Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, the University of Florida Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology Biopsy Service archives spanning 1994–2020 were queried. All cases of OHL affecting immunocompetent patients were identified. Data related to age, gender, clinical presentation, results of Epstein-Barr virus in situ hybridization (EBER-ISH), and periodic acid–Schiff (PAS)-fungus stains were recorded. Medical history and histology of all cases were reviewed for confirmation of diagnosis. A total of 11 cases were identified, the majority of which were males (63.6%) with a mean age of 62 years. All patients were Caucasian. Lesions entirely were located on the lateral borders of the tongue. OHL should not be considered pathognomonic for HIV infection and should be included in the differential diagnoses of keratotic lesions affecting the lateral border of tongue even in immunocompetent elderly patients. The etiology of OHL in this group of patients is not clearly understood.
