title: [Histopathological analysis of 44 cases with oral candidiasis].
abstract: 44 cases of oral candidiasis were studied histopathologically. We have found out that the microabscess in superficial epithelium is the histologic symbol of oral candidiasis. So, for those cases with microabscess, PAS stain should be done in order to make definite diagnosis. Epithelial dysplasia was observed in 8 cases (18.2%). Clinically these 8 cases were chronic hyperplastic oral candidiasis, this means that the long term follow-up study should be done for those with chronic hyperplastic oral candidiasis. Inflammatory infiltration was related to the amount of candida. The more candida get into the epithelium, the heavier inflammation is.
