Oral manifestations are frequently the initial signs of leukemia,
particularly in the acute forms, prompting the patient to consult
the dentist first. The oral cavity, and especially the gingival
tissue, is one site commonly involved either by leukemic
infiltration or by inflammatory reactive hyperplasia causing
gingival enlargement. The gingival infiltration may also be present
without gingival enlargement. It is therefore imperative that the
dentist recognize these leukemic lesions as early as possible
because of the danger, in some instances, of oral surgical
interference and also the necessity of medical attention.
Therefore, gingival FNAC was performed as a diagnostic procedure
with an aim to assess its diagnostic value in detecting leukemic
gingival infiltration in acute leukemia patients presenting with or
without gingival enlargement.
