“…However, evidence for their effectiveness is generally low and most publications in this context have been published more than a decade ago, so further reports (ideally randomized controlled trials) are needed to optimize the treatment options in OHL. 8,9 Systemic anti-EBV therapies such as acyclovir or valacyclovir may have only a short-term effect, 5,10,11 and recurrences are common after treatment cessation. 12,13…”

“…It is a well-documented phenomenon associated with immunodeficiency, but more recently has been reported in apparent immunocompetent individuals such as those using long-term inhaled steroids 7. Despite this being the first case of OHL associated with HCL in the literature, OHL has been readily described in association with other haematological malignancies.…”

Oral hairy leukoplakia arising in a patient with hairy cell leukaemia: the first reported case

Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is an oral mucosal lesion that is associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection. It commonly presents as an asymptomatic, non-removable white patch on the lateral borders of the tongue in individuals who are immunocompromised. Historically, OHL was thought to be pathognomonic of HIV infection; however, it is now an established phenomenon in a range of conditions affecting immune competence. Hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) is a rare chronic B cell lymphoproliferative disease named after the distinctive cytology of the atypical cells. We report the first case of OHL arising in an individual with HCL that resolved following remission of the haematological malignancy.

Oral hairy leukoplakia in an immunocompetent patient: a case report

Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is a viral infection of the oral mucosa which most dental practitioners will associate with patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The condition can also present in patients who are immunocompromised without HIV infection such as steroid use or organ transplant. This article presents a case of OHL in a patient who was not immunocompromised and which healed spontaneously following biopsy only. While perhaps surprising, this occurrence may not seemingly be rare and is one of which dentists should be aware of as it appears to be age related. With an increasing ageing population, this may become a more frequent presentation and highlights the importance of clinic-pathological correlation when presenting patients with the results of laboratory investigations.
