IL-17 and IL-23 are important cytokines associated with this lineage. The aim of this study was to analyze, through immunohistochemical methods, the immunoexpression of IL-17 and IL-23 in the inflammatory infiltrate of oral lichen planus (OLP) lesion compared to that of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH) and between clinical forms reticular and erosive of OLP. The sample included 41 cases of OLP, of which 23 were reticular and 18 erosive and 10 cases of IFH. The results were subjected to nonparametric statistical tests with a 5% significance level. In OLP lesions histomorphological analysis, the most common findings were: hyperparakeratinization, specimens with atrophic epithelium in erosive clinical form (p = 0.011), epithelial projections in most of reticular type of lesions, in addition Civatte bodies were identified in most samples of both clinical forms. For immunohistochemistry analysis, five fields with strong immunoreactivity for IL-17 and IL-23 were photomicrographed at 400x magnification, images were transferred to a computer where with ImageJ software?, lymphocytes that exhibited cytoplasmic immunostaining for these cytokines were counted. A mean was established after for each case. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of imunopositive lymphocytes for IL-17 and IL-23 among the group of OLP and IFH group, however a larger amount of lymphocytes imunopositive for IL-17 was found in the LPO group (p = 0.079) and significantly higher amounts of those lymphocytes were found in the erosive OLP when compared to the group of reticular OLP and IFH (p = 0.019). Furthermore, a marker epithelial immunopositivity for IL-17 was observed in OLP group. Although the results of this study do not permit the forceful assertion about the participation of Th17 lineage in OLP lesions, the findings of immunopositive lymphocytes counting for IL-17 and IL-23, which are potent proinflammatory cytokines, together with the the marked epithelial immunopositivity found for IL-17 in this study, suggest a possible role of this lineage in the pathogenesis of this disorder / As c?lulas Th17 t?m sido fortemente associadas com a patogenia de diversas doen?as autoimunes e inflamat?rias. A IL-17 e a IL-23 s?o importantes citocinas associadas com esta linhagem. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar, atrav?s de m?todos imunohistoqu?micos, a imunoexpress?o da IL-17 e da IL-23 no infiltrado inflamat?rio das les?es de l?quen plano oral (LPO) comparando ao da hiperplasia fibrosa inflamat?ria (HFI) e entre as formas cl?nicas reticular e erosiva do LPO com o intuito de esclarecer se a linhagem Th17 participa da patog?nese do LPO. Na amostra foram inclu?dos 41 casos de LPO, dos quais 23 eram reticulares e 18 erosivos, al?m de 10 casos de HFI. Os resultados foram submetidos a testes estat?sticos n?o param?tricos com n?vel de signific?ncia de 5%. Na an?lise histomorfol?gica das les?es de LPO, observou-se predom?nio de: les?es hiperparaceratinizadas, esp?cimes com epit?lio atr?fico na forma cl?nica erosiva (p=0,011), proje??es epiteliais nas les?es do tipo reticular, al?m de corpos de Civatte identificados na maior parte da amostra de ambas as formas cl?nicas. Para o estudo imuno-histoqu?mico, cinco campos com forte imunorreatividade para a IL-17 e para a IL-23 foram fotomicrografados sob o aumento de 400x, as fotos foram transferidas para um computador onde com o aux?lio do software ImageJ?, realizou-se a contagem dos linf?citos que exibiram imunomarca??o citoplasm?tica para estas citocinas. Posteriormente, foi estabelecida uma m?dia para cada caso. N?o foram observadas diferen?as estatisticamente significativas na quantidade de linf?citos imunopositivos para a IL-17 e para a IL-23 entre o grupo do LPO e da HFI, no entanto uma maior quantidade desses linf?citos para a IL-17 foi encontrada no grupo do LPO (p=0,079) e uma quantidade significativamente maior de linf?citos imunopositivos para a IL- 23 foi encontrada entre o grupo do LPO erosivo e da HFI (p=0,019). Al?m disto, foi observada uma marcante imunopositividade epitelial para a IL-17 no grupo do LPO. Ainda que os resultados do presente estudo n?o permitam a afirma??o contundente da participa??o da linhagem Th17 nas les?es de LPO, os achados da contagem dos linf?citos imunopositivos para a IL-17 e para a IL-23, que s?o potentes citocinas pr?-inflamat?rias, somados ? marcante imunopositividade epitelial encontrada para a IL-17 neste estudo, sugerem uma poss?vel participa??o desta linhagem na patog?nese desta desordem
