Oral candidosis. Clinical, historical, and therapeutic features of 100 cases.

Oral candidosis is an increasingly important disease that affects a significant percentage of the population. Traditionally known as an opportunistic pathogen, the broader clinical scope of oropharyngeal candidal infections is now being recognized. The clinical and historical features of 100 patients referred for diagnosis and management of candidosis have been reviewed. The age, gender, chief complaint, medical history, medications, and clinical findings have been noted. A wide range of clinical signs and symptoms, and the rationale behind the topical and systemic antifungal therapies provided to this patient population, are discussed.

Clinical, historic, and therapeutic features of aphthous stomatitis. Literature review and open clinical trial employing steroids.

The clinical and historic features of 50 patients with diagnosed aphthous stomatitis and treated with topical triamcinolone acetonide, 0.1% or 0.2% aqueous suspension; alone or in combination with initial burst therapy of 40 to 60 mg of prednisone, are reviewed. The mean age of our patients was 36.6 years (range 6 to 80 years). The duration of the chief complaint, usually oral pain, or more specifically, recurrent oral ulcers, was 11.1 years (range 4 weeks to 40 years). All patients showed a wide range of ulcer sizes when examined initially or at follow-up. Forty were followed up for an average of 22.9 months. Thirty-four reported prompt healing of ulcers identified at the time of initial evaluation, and no or markedly fewer ulcers subsequently if maintenance therapy of prophylactic topical triamcinolone, 0.1% or 0.2% aqueous rinse, was used. Five patients reported partial relief. No systemic side effects were noted even after long-term topical therapy. Local candidosis was a complication encountered in five patients.

Diagnosis and management of autoimmune and idiopathic mucosal diseases.

Several autoimmune and idiopathic diseases directly affect the oral mucosa. Current therapeutic management is aimed primarily at the control and prevention of symptoms. It is important for patients to understand the goals of therapeutic management because these diseases often are characterized by periods of remission and exacerbation that require long-term follow-up.

Diagnosing and managing oral lichen planus.

Lichen planus is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease characterized by unpredictable exacerbations and remissions. It affects the skin and/or mucous membrane in nearly 2 percent of the adult population. The symptoms are transient, but clinical evidence of oral disease is more persistent.

Oral lichen planus: the clinical, historical, and therapeutic features of 100 cases.

Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory epidermal and mucosal disease, the cause of which is poorly understood. We reviewed the clinical and historic features of 100 patients referred to our clinic for diagnosis and management of lichen planus. The age, gender, chief complaint, duration of the chief complaint, medical history, medications, and clinical findings were recorded. Past therapeutic modalities were reviewed. Of therapeutic significance, 25 patients with oral lichen planus had a secondary oral candidiasis. Management of symptomatic lichen planus with topical and systemic steroid is discussed. The pharmacology of topical and systemic steroid usage and the rationale for treatment are discussed.

Adenocarcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst: report of a case and literature review.

A case of thyroglossal duct cyst carcinoma is presented, and the previously reported cases are reviewed. The clinical features of these midline neck masses do not suggest the presence of a carcinoma which may be localized to a single area of the cyst wall. Therefore, submission of the complete surgical specimen for histologic examination is recommended even if frozen sections during surgery fail to reveal a carcinoma.
