The diagnosis of malignancy is made by means of a histopathological examination, executed on the basis of a clinical suspicion. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), a promising endoscopic technique, uses a filtered light with specific wavelengths to highlight microvascular abnormalities associated with subclinical neoplastic changes of the upper aerodigestive tract epithelium. Objective: The study aims to analyze the value of NBI in selecting which patients need to undergo a biopsy before the emergence of clinical changes, allowing early detection of oral malignancies arising from OLP. Methods: A prospective study was conducted enrolling thirty-two consecutive patients with a histological diagnosis of OLP, no previous diagnosis of oral cancer, no other oral inflammatory diseases. Patients with suspicious NBI lesions underwent biopsies; other patients were included in follow-up. Results: Two patients were judged positive at NBI-evaluation; they were both histologically diagnosed of neoplastic lesions. None of the other patients developed clinical features of malignancies during follow-up. Limitations: Patients with negative NBI-evaluation did not undergo biopsies. Conclusion: NBI evaluation could both increase the accuracy of detecting subclinical neoplastic transformation in OLP lesions and help clinicians perform biopsies only in selected cases.","PeriodicalId":247251,"journal":{"name":"Austin Journal of Dermatology","volume":"353 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125862543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
