Background: Precancerous lesions and conditions which are replaced by the term potentially malignant disorders (PMDs) may precede oral cancer. The PMDs present as visible clinical changes may belie the true nature of the lesion. Histopathologic diagnosis is the gold standard in evaluating these lesions for dysplasia and malignant potential. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinicopathological findings of oral leukoplakia and erythroplakia. Materials and Methods: Pathological report of cases, which were clinically diagnosed as leukoplakia and erythroplakia, were studied retrospectively from 2013 to 2015.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
