– Snuff‐induced lesions from 21 snuff users were studied clinically, histologically and by electron microscopy. Clinically most lesions appeared coarsely wrinkled, grayish white and slightly elevated. All lesions were found in the upper vestibular area. Histologically, epithelial thickening, acanthosis, vacuolation of surface cells and a slight subepithelial inflammatory reaction were seen. The electron microscopic findings revealed an intact basement lamina, increased tonofilament concentration moving up towards the surface of the epithelium, widening of intercellular spaces in the spinous cell layer and partial keratinization of surface cells. The salivary flow of resting saliva showed a slightly significant increase compared to controls. That of stimulated saliva was not significantly increased among snuff users.

“…Snuff use has attracted attention as a possible cause of oral carcinomas (Peacock et al I960, Landy & White 1961, Vogler et al 1962, Rosenfeld & Callaway 1963, Brown et al 1965. Other investigators, however, have not found premalignant or malignant changes related to the oral use of snuff (Peacock & Brawley 1959, Pindborg & Renstrup 1963, van Wyk 1965.…”

Abstract. In a sample of 450 patients with oral leukoplakias, 32 used snuff, which was a Danish wet variety, Göteborg snus ® (Gothenburg Snuff). The group of snuff users consisted of males only, with a mean age of 58.4 years. The mean life exposure time lo snuff was 197,000 hours, the equivalent of 22 years of constant use. Patients with leukoplakia due lo the use of snuff experienced fewer symptoms than did patients with leukoplakia due to other unknown causes. The snuff users also tended to be older at first examination, and to have a higher alcohol intake. Histological changes characteristic of snuff‐users' leukoplakias were: (1) vacuolated cells in the upper part of the spinous cell layers of the epithelium with intervening streaks of parakeratinized cells, (2) epithelial hyperplasia, and (3) hyalinized, eosinophilic deposits around salivary glands. However, statistically significant differences were not found between snuff‐induced leukoplakias and other leukoplakias either as lo dysplasia observed histologically or as to malignant development.

“…Dipping of snuff and chewing of betel have also been associated with the development of oral cancer. Rosenfeld and Callaway (1963) noted in a study in Nashville, Tennessee, that 98% of women with squamous cell carcinoma of the gingival-buccal area were habitual snuff dippers. In India, where 47% of all malignant neoplasms have been reported to develop in the intraoral and pharyngeal region (Paymaster, 1957), betel chewing is practically ubiquitous.…”

Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity — chronic oral ulcerative disease as a possible etiologic factor

This report documents the association of carcinoma of the oral cavity with chronic oral ulcerative disease in two patients. This association has not previously been documented in the surgical literature. Both patients in this report had chronic oral ulcerative disease preceding their cancers; however, the common etiologic factors for oral cancer were not detected in either case. Oral lichen planus and pemphigus vulgaris should be considered as potentially premalignant lesions and should be treated accordingly.
