Abstract

Biopsies were taken from thirty examinees with oral lichen ruber in order to establish histopathologic criteria. Specimens were prepared by means o f routine histopathologic procedures. In this study results have shown characteristic changes for OLR: hyperparakeratosis in 53,3% specimens with increased finding o f keratohyaline granules in stratum granulosum in 23,3%, acanthosis in 50% with papillomatosis in 66,6%, vacuolar degeneration o f basal cells cytoplasm in 50%, and subepithelial lymphocytes infiltrate in 60% with increased macrophage finding in 40% o f specimens. On the basis o f present histopathologic characteristics histopathologic criteria for O LR are suggested which can be o f diagnostic value in the histological evaluation o f oral lesions that are clinical similar to OLR.
