ABSTRACT
Oral side effects must be expected during cancer treatment on pediatric patients.
Monitoring side effects on oral cavity of antineoplastic therapy is desirable but
sometimes performed without criteria. The purpose of this article is to describe an
oral monitoring in an male with Hodgkin lymphoma during chemotherapy treatment
using an Oral Assessment Guide. An 11-yr-old male was assisted during all
treatment of chemotherapy against Hodgkin's lymphoma in the dental sector of a
hospital of reference of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The Oral Assessment Guide
was applied by a calibrate examiner and was observed the emergence of ulcerative
lesions on the labial mucosa emerged on two different periods (D15- primary cycle;
D15-second cycle) and the major values of oral mucositis were verified in D1 e D15
periods of second cycle of chemotherapy. Monitoring oral side effects during
antineoplastic therapy could prevent severe oral complications and avoid to
associate systemic complications.
