--- abstract: 'The objective of this study was to determine the socio-demography (age, race and gender) of a group of Malaysian patients who were diagnosed as suffering from oral lichen planus (OLP). The occurrence of malignancy was also investigated. A total of 77 clinical and biopsy records of patients with OLP were studied. Females were affected more than males, with the female to male ratio being 2:1. Middle-aged Indian and Chinese females tend to be affected by OLP when compared with the rest of the population. Only 19 patients returned for further follow-up. One adult Indian female with a six-year history of lichenoid reaction showed the presence of malignancy.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - ngeowy@um.edu.my creators_name: - family: Ngeow given: W.C. honourific: Dr. lineage: '' date: 2002-06 date_type: published datestamp: 2012-04-25 12:59:32 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/81/77 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8177 fileinfo: application/pdf;http://cogprints.org/8177/1/Malignancy%20in%20oral%20lichen%20planus%20a%20review%20of%20a%20group%20from%20the%20malaysian%20population.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'adolescent; adult; age distribution; aged; article; cell transformation; China; ethnology; female; human; India; lichen planus; Malaysia; male; middle aged; mouth hygiene; pathology; retrospective; study; sex ratio; squamous cell carcinoma; tongue tumor; Carcinoma, Squamous Cell; Cell Transformation, Neoplastic; Humans; Lichen Planus, Oral; Oral Hygiene; Retrospective Studies; Tongue Neoplasms' lastmod: 2012-04-25 12:59:32 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: 'Cited By (since 1996): 8 Export Date: 7 March 2012 Source: Scopus PubMed ID: 12227497 Language of Original Document: English Correspondence Address: Yaacob, H.B.email: hashimy@um.edu.my' number: 2 pagerange: 65-71 pubdom: TRUE publication: Journal of oral science publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 8 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2012-04-25 12:59:32 subjects: - JOURNALS - OJHAS succeeds: ~ suggestions: "Associate Prof. Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong @ David Ngeow\r\nDepartment of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, University of\r\nMalaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA\r\n\r\nAssociate Professor Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong is currently a lecturer at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Malaya.
