| Popis: | The first case of oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) in an HIV-negative 56-year-old patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is reported. A white plaque was observed while the patient was in complete remission which followed the chemotherapeutic scheme. The clinical and histopathologic findings were typical for OHL and the polymerase chain reaction method was positive for Epstein-Barr virus DNA. Underdiagnosis and underreporting of OHL in patients with a malignant haematological disease and the apparent different environmental factors to which these non-AIDS patients have been exposed, probably constitute some of the reasons for the very few OHL cases reported in these patients. |
