Abstract
In 2020, Fanconi anemia (FA) was classified as a syndrome with insufficient epidemiological evidence in the oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) group by the WHO Collaborating Centre. The paucity of case reports on FA-associated OPMD limits evidence-based management, and such cases have not been analyzed collectively in detail. Hence, the objective of this short communication is to summarize the evidence on the onset and progression of OPMD in FA patients, so as to better understand the natural history of oral cancer development in patients affected by FA. A total of 11 eligible papers containing 1332 FA patients are involved in onset and progression of OPMD in FA patients. Of these, 186 (14.0%) were diagnosed with OPMD. With available data from 4 follow-up studies, 30 (41.1%) of 73 FA patients compatible with OPMD further developed into OSCC at young age (10-30 years old). The evidence on FA with malignant potential comprise clinical epidemiology, oral cytology abnormalities, DNA aneuploidy, loss of autofluorescence, loss of heterozygosity, high-risk human papillomavirus infection, DNA mutations in saliva and plasma samples. Collectively, these can consummate the evidence on FA as a syndrome that may potentiate cancer development in oral cavity mentioned by the WHO. Importantly, it highlights close surveillance is instrumental for FA patients with OPMD to early detect oral cancer.
