With the purpose of evaluating the results of the clinical and histopathological diagnosis of the human papilomavirus associated with oral leukoplakia, a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 75 patients with this condition, who were treated at the Stomatology Department of the Polyclinic of Specialties from "Saturnino Lora" Provincial Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, from September 2009 to the same month of 2012. Biopsies were taken from patients to detect the presence of koilocytes producing chorion and epithelial changes in damaged tissue, as well as their topographic location. Male sex, buccal mucosa as the anatomical site of highest incidence and epithelial dysplasia as the most significant prevailed in the case material. Likewise, the loss of the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio and hyperplasia of the basal layer were the most frequent tissue alterations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A descriptive and cross sectional study of 85 patients with oral lichen planus associated with the virus of human papiloma, assisted in the estomatological service from the Specialties Polyclinic in "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Clinical-Surgical Provincial Hospital from Santiago de Cuba was carried out from November, 2008 to the same month of 2011, with the aim of evaluating the results of the histological and pathological diagnosis of this disorder. Among the analyzed variables there were: age, sex, clinical histological and pathological diagnosis, anatomical localization, risk factors, cellular changes which appear in the epithelium and magnitude of the epithelial dysplasia. The age group 20-29, both sexes, the cheek mucosa as the place of greater incidence, the koilocytos presence as the most significant histological finding, high proportions of the mild epithelial dysplasia prevailed in the case material.
