Oral squamous papilloma: a view under clinical, fluorescence and histopathological aspects / Papiloma escamoso oral: uma visão sob aspectos clínicos, de fluorescência e histopatológicos

ABSTRACT Oral squamous papilloma is a benign tumor whose pathogenesis has been associated with human papillomavirus infection. Thus, it is noteworthy that human papillomavirus infection is one of the risk factors associated with the development of cervical, anogenital, pharynx, larynx and oral cavity carcinomas. Oral squamous papilloma can affect any region of the oral cavity, and transmission of human papillomavirus can occur by direct contact, sexual intercourse or from mother to child during delivery. The diagnosis is clinical and histopathological, with surgical removal representing the treatment of choice. Recently, widefield optical fluorescence has been used as a complementary examination to the conventional clinical examination in the screening of oral pathological lesions and for the delimitation of surgical margins. We report a case of oral squamous papilloma with its clinical, histopathological features and, in addition, from the perspective of wide field optical fluorescence.

RESUMO O papiloma escamoso oral é um tumor benigno, cuja patogênese tem sido associada à infecção pelo papilomavírus humano. A infecção pelo papilomavírus humano é um dos fatores de risco associado ao desenvolvimento dos carcinomas cervicais, anogenitais, faríngeos, laríngeos e da cavidade oral. O papiloma escamoso oral pode acometer qualquer região da cavidade oral, e a transmissão do papilomavírus humano ocorre por contato direto, relação sexual ou de mãe para filho durante o parto. O diagnóstico é clínico e histopatológico, e a remoção cirúrgica representa o tratamento de escolha. Recentemente, a fluorescência óptica de campo amplo tem sido empregada como exame complementar ao exame clínico convencional, no rastreio de lesões patológicas orais e para delimitação de margens cirúrgicas. Relatamos um caso de papiloma escamoso oral com suas características clínicas e histopatológicas, sob a perspectiva da fluorescência óptica de campo amplo.

Management and treatment of sinonasal inverted papilloma.

AIMS: The aim of this paper is to describe the surgical experience of 35 patients with Inverted Papilloma (IP) of paranasal sinuses and its recurrence rate after a year of follow-up. MATERIALS: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients presenting with IP of paranasal sinuses. Thirty-five patients comprised the focus of this study. For all patients was performed a pre-surgery TC, and for more 5 patients it was necessary to perform a Magnetic Resonance (MR) with gadolinium. RESULTS: Among 35 patients selected, 18 patients underwent to open surgery, 4 patients had a combined approach with endoscopy and open surgery, while 13 patients were managed only with an endoscopic approach, with a minimum of 1 year of follow-up. Our results highlighted that the global percentage of success 12 months after the treatment was 93% and it not vary according to the tipology of the approach used if a radical excision of the lesion is achieved. More in depth, among 35 cases, only 2 patients were found to have recurrences and were treated with coronal and endoscopic approach. CONCLUSION: It is fundamental to underline that surgery must be carried on in a radical manner to treat these tend to recur. A complete removal of the lesion and bone peripheral border filing are essential to perform a correct and definitive treatment. Also, endoscopic approach can be taken into account when tumors are localized median to a sagittal plan crossing the orbit median wall and when they did not massively compromised paranasal sinus walls.
