Sixty patients were studied 180 to 500 days after allogeneic marrow transplantation to determine if late oral abnormalities were associated with the presence of chronic graft-v-host disease (GVHD). Lip and intraoral mucosal surfaces were evaluated for color, keratinization, atrophy, and erythema. Subjective complaints of oral pain and xerostomia were also recorded. Abnormalities were scored on a scale of 0 to 3 and tested for association with GVHD by chi 2 test. Oral manifestations most strongly associated with chronic GVHD included atrophy and erythema or lichenoid lesions of the buccal and labial mucosa and oral pain. Oral manifestations resembled several naturally occurring autoimmune disorders. Recognition of these changes can aid in the clinical diagnosis and assessment of established chronic GVHD.

D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D008010 Lichen Planus An inflammatory, pruritic disease of the skin and mucous membranes, which can be either generalized or localized. It is characterized by distinctive purplish, flat-topped papules having a predilection for the trunk and flexor surfaces. The lesions may be discrete or coalesce to form plaques. Histologically, there is a "saw-tooth" pattern of epidermal hyperplasia and vacuolar alteration of the basal layer of the epidermis along with an intense upper dermal inflammatory infiltrate composed predominantly of T-cells.
