“…Robinson &Tasker (1947) suggested that chronic candidiasis might be pre cancerous, and there have been a number of reports of carcinoma developing in relation to lesions of chronic candidiasis. The earliest of these was that of Engman & Weiss (1920), while more recently Kugelman, Cripps & Harrell (1963), Jansen, Dilaha & Honeycutt (1963), Williamson (1969), and Eyre & Nally (1971) have reported cases. It is probable that the small number of reported cases has been due to the common failure, which Robinson & Tasker (1947) emphasized, to recognize chronic candidiasis in the past.…”
