SANDRA TORRES. UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO RIO DE JANEIRO. Oral manifestations are common in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). However, few studies present systematic results on the prevalence of its different clinical pre- sentations. This study evaluates the frequency of oral cGVHD features. Materials and Methods: Patients with symptomatic oral cGVHD were studied. Demographic and clinical data were taken from medical records. Oral features were assessed through Na- tional Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria. A descriptive analysis was performed. Results: Twenty-two patients were included, 43.8% of whom were male. Patients presented diagnostic (87.5%), distinctive (100%), and common (100%) features of oral cGVHD. The gingiva was the most commonly affected anatom- ical site. Ulceration was the most frequent type of oral lesion, which is related to the inclusion of patients with symptomatic cGVHD. Salivary gland dysfunction was observed in 87.5% of cases. Conclusions: Oral involvement was frequent in the popu- lation studied. The calibration of investigators is important for an adequate diagnosis of oral cGVHD.

UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO RIO GRANDE DO NORTE. This study analyzed the immunohistochemical expression of human glucose transporter proteins (GLUT-1) in all cases diag- nosed as hemangiomas from a service of Oral Pathology and reclassied such lesions according their immunoexpression. Study Design: A total of 79 cases histologically diagnosed as hemangiomas were retrieved from a total of 12,100 lesions diagnosed at the Division of Oral Pathology, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, between 1970 and 2013. For all those lesions, we assessed the immunohistochemical expression of GLUT-1. Some cases were reclassied as pyogenic granulomas (PG) and vascular malformations (VM). Results: This research showed that only 26 cases initially classied as hemangiomas presented immunopositivity for GLUT-1 and t the initial diag- nosis. The remaining 53 cases were reclassied as PG (20 cases) and VM (33 cases). Conclusion: This study showed that the histological diagnosis alone is not always enough for the correct diagnosis of infantile hemangiomas.

This study evaluated the clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features of granular cell tumors of the oral cavity. Study Design: Granular cell tumors were retrieved from the les of two oral pathology laboratories in Brazil from 1975 to 2013. Twenty-ve cases were included and subjected to immu- nohistochemical analysis through the streptavidin-biotin tech- nique. Results: Most patients were in the third decade of life (mean age 36 years), and the lesions were observed mainly in the tongue of females. Microscopically, tumors were composed of clusters of polygonal cells with abundant granular cytoplasm in the connective tissue, which was covered by supercial epithe- lium with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. The tumor cells were positive for S-100, CD63, and CD68, and they were nega- tive for CD163 and Claudin-1. Conclusion: Granular cell tumors are uncommon neural tumors that mainly affect the tongue of adult patients. The neural granular cells probably exhibit histio- cytic differentiation and are not related to perineural cells.

Periapical granulomas (PG) and radicular cysts (RC) are common inammatory periapical lesions whose etiology is associated with the presence of bacteria in root canals. The study investigated and compared the histopathological features of PGs and RCs. Methods: Fifty specimens, including 25 PGs and 25 RCs, were evaluated histopathologically. Results: Analysis of the inammatory inltrate in PGs revealed 21 cases (84%) with in- ammatory inltrate grade III, 3 cases (12%) grade II, and 1 case (4%) grade I. Among the RCs, 14 cases (56%) showed inam- matory inltrate grade III, 8 cases (32%) grade II, and 3 cases (12%) inltrate grade I. Morphological analysis of the epithelial thickness in RCs revealed the presence of an atrophic epithelium in 14 cases (58%). Conclusion: There were more inammatory cells in cases of PGs than in cases of RCs, suggesting higher antigenic stimulation in PGs.

Neurobromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common genetic diseases and can affect many organic systems. No studies investigated the glandular function in NF1 individuals. This study evaluated the unstimulated (US) and stimulated salivary ow (SS) in 37 patients with NF1. Material and Methods: Whole saliva was measured between 8:00 and 12:00 AM using the spitting method (5 min). Salivary ow rates were classied as very low (US < 0.1 mL/min; SS < 0.7 mL/min), low (US 0.1 to 0.25 mL/min; SS 0.7 to 1.0 mL/min), and normal (US > 0.25 mL/min; SS >1.0 mL/min). Results: The prevalence of hyposalivation was high (US ¼ 62.1%; SS ¼ 78.4%) in NF1, and the majority presented very low rates (US ¼ 60.8%; SS ¼ 72.4%). There was no association with drugs that cause xero- stomia. Hyposalivation is common among individuals with NF1. Conclusion: Other studies are needed to investigate if NF1 is a predisposing disease for hyposalivation or if other factors are associated with hyposalivation in NF1.

Periapical granulomas (PG) and radicular cysts (RC) arecommon inflammatory periapical lesions whose etiology isassociated with the presence of bacteria in root canals. The studyinvestigated and compared the histopathological features of PGsand RCs. Methods: Fifty specimens, including 25 PGs and 25RCs, were evaluated histopathologically. Results: Analysis of theinflammatory infiltrate in PGs revealed 21 cases (84%) with in-flammatory infiltrate grade III, 3 cases (12%) grade II, and 1 case(4%) grade I. Among the RCs, 14 cases (56%) showed inflam-matory infiltrate grade III, 8 cases (32%) grade II, and 3 cases(12%) infiltrate grade I. Morphological analysis of the epithelialthickness in RCs revealed the presence of an atrophic epitheliumin 14 cases (58%). Conclusion: There were more inflammatorycells in cases of PGs than in cases of RCs, suggesting higherantigenic stimulation in PGs.
