[Expression of proliferation markers PCNA and MIB 1 in verrucous squamous epithelial carcinoma of the oral cavity]
Abstract
Expression of proliferation markers PCNA and MIB 1 was evaluated in 17 verrucous carcinomas and in five cases of normal squamous epithelium of the oral cavity. Immunohistochemistry revealed no significant differences in the proliferative activities. Highest expression was seen in the basal zones. Proliferative activity in more than 26% of cells is no longer compatible with verrucous carcinoma, but favours the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma.
