Previous issue date: 2006-02-22 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has been strongly implicated on development of some cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the immunological system somehow reacts against the presence of this virus. Among the cells involved on such mechanism of defense detaches the Langerhans cells (LC), which are responsible for processing and presenting antigens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical reactivity for Langerhans cells between HPV positive and HPV negative OSCC, as well as, the relation of the immunoreactivity for this cells and the histological grading of malignancy proposed by Bryne (1998) and modified by Miranda (2002). Additionally, HPV infection was evaluated in relation to sex, age, lesion localization and histological grading of malignancy. In the total, 27 cases of OSSC were evaluated, 09 of them HPV positive and 18 HPV negative. Anti S-100 antibody was utilized for the immunohistochemical labelling, followed by the counting of LCs in 5 highpower fields (400x). No statistically significant difference was verified between the variables sex, age, lesion localization, histological grading of malignancy and HPV presence in OSSC. There was neither association between the immunohistochemical labeling for LCs (S-100+) and HPV infection nor correlation between the quantity of LCs labeled and the histological grading of malignancy of OSSC. The results suggest that despite the absence of statistically significant difference, the presence of HPV in such cases of OSCC can alter the immunological system, particularly the Langerhans cells / O Papilomav?rus Humano (HPV) tem sido implicado fortemente no desenvolvimento de alguns carcinomas epiderm?ides orais (CEOs). Contudo, o sistema imunol?gico reage de alguma forma ? presen?a desse v?rus. Dentre as c?lulas envolvidas nesse mecanismo de defesa, destaca-se a c?lula de Langerhans (CL), por serem c?lulas processadoras e apresentadoras de ant?genos. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a marca??o imuno-histoqu?mica das c?lulas de Langerhans entre os casos de CEOs HPV positivos e negativos, bem como a rela??o da imunomarca??o dessas c?lulas e a grada??o histol?gica de malignidade proposta por Bryne (1998) e modificada por Miranda (2002). Adicionalmente, a infec??o pelo HPV foi estudada com rela??o ao sexo, idade, localiza??o da les?o e a grada??o histol?gica de malignidade. Foram analisados 27 casos de CEOs, sendo 09 destes HPV positivos e 18 casos negativos. Para a marca??o imuno-histoqu?mica utilizou-se o anticorpo anti S-100, sendo as CLs quantificadas em 5 campos de maior aumento (400x). A an?lise estat?stica revelou n?o existir rela??o das vari?veis, sexo, idade, localiza??o da les?o e grada??o histol?gica, com a presen?a do HPV nos CEOs estudados. N?o existiu associa??o entre a marca??o imuno-histoqu?mica das CLs(S-100+) e a infec??o pelo HPV, e tamb?m n?o houve correla??o entre as CLs imunomarcadas e a grada??o histol?gica nos casos de CEOs analisados. Diante desses resultados, pode-se sugerir que mesmo n?o havendo diferen?a significativa, a presen?a do HPV nos casos de carcinoma epiderm?ide oral pode alterar o sistema imune, particularmente as c?lulas de Langerhans
