• Abstract

  Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is characterized by the triad of persistent or recurrent labial and/or facial edema (associated or not to granulomatous tissues), persistent facial palsy and fissured tongue. Due to its rarity, the pathophysiology and etiology of the disease remain unknown, and the scientific evidence about the clinical behavior of MRS are still scarce due to its hetero…

• Abstract

  The melanocytes are precursor cells of melanocytes that originate in the neural crest of vertebrates. These cells migrate through the lateral way to: skin, and oro and nasal mucosa, and other places, where they are responsible for the color of skin, hair and eyes. On skin it has a protective function against the effects of sun radiation, but its role in the oral mucosa is still uncertain.…

• Abstract

  Lupus erythematosus is a chronic, multisystemic, inflammatory disease, probably mediated by autoimmune mechanisms. Several studies demonstrated the importance of many inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, in the development of LE lesions. Our objective in this study is to determine the cytokine profile in intra oral (sun-covered) LE lesions, and to compare them to labial (sun-exposed…
