Abstract
Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a rare autoimmune disorder associated with underlying neoplasms, predominantly Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, affecting adults aged 45 to 70. This review analyzed 87 articles from MEDLINE/PubMed, Ovid and Scopus focusing on patients with oral manifestations of PNP, emphasizing histological and serological aspects and discussing recent updates on pathogenetic options. Key findings revealed that PNP is often diagnosed before the neoplasm, with Follicular variant Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Castleman Disease being the most common associations. Histopathological analysis showed suprabasal acantholysis and inflammation, and serological tests identify a comprehensive autoantibody panel, underscoring the need for standardized diagnostic criteria and improved serological testing.
期刊介绍:
Antibodies (ISSN 2073-4468), an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to antibodies and antigens. It publishes reviews, research articles, communications and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure - if unable to be published in a normal way - can be deposited as supplementary material. This journal covers all topics related to antibodies and antigens, topics of interest include (but are not limited to): antibody-producing cells (including B cells), antibody structure and function, antibody-antigen interactions, Fc receptors, antibody manufacturing antibody engineering, antibody therapy, immunoassays, antibody diagnosis, tissue antigens, exogenous antigens, endogenous antigens, autoantigens, monoclonal antibodies, natural antibodies, humoral immune responses, immunoregulatory molecules.
