Introduction: Leukoplakia is the most common oral premalignant lesion. Langerhans cells are the first gene-expressing cells that become carcinogenic with early events. The aim of this study was to determine the types of Langerhans cells in benign keratosis and epithelial dysplasia of the oral mucosa by the Cd1a marker and compare them.
Materials and Methods: In a descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study, the present study examined 40 samples of leukoplakia, including 20 samples with histopathological diagnosis of benign keratosis (group 1) and 20 samples with epithelial dysplasia (group 2) recorded in the archives of the Oral Pathology Department of Isfahan Dental School. To determine the number of Langerhans cells, the samples were immunohistochemically stained with the CD1a marker and the number of Langerhans cells in the lesion was determined by two oral pathologists. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using independent t-tests, chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and Fisher's exact tests. P < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The number of Langerhans cells was significantly higher in patients diagnosed with dysplasia of the oral mucosa epithelium (38.70±14.07) than in patients diagnosed with benign keratosis (6.75±2.51) (p < 0.001), but there was no relation with age, gender, and location.
Conclusion: A significant increase in the number of langerhans cells is associated with an increased likelihood of the presence of epithelial dysplasia in leukoplakia. The results of examining these cells can help determine the prognosis and more appropriate treatment methods in patients with leukoplakia.
