Oral leukoplakia is a white flaky or lumpy lesion on the oral mucosa that cannot be diagnosed as other diseases by clinical manifestations or pathological features.
Oral leukoplakia is also known as oral mucosal leukoplakia, which mostly occurs in middle-aged men, and is most common in the gums, buccal mucosa or tongue, and the cause of the disease is not known, and it is related to the bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol or chewing betel nut.
The main symptom of leukoplakia is white or gray-white lumpy, warty or granular lesions on the mucosal surface, usually without obvious conscious symptoms, some of which may be numbness, astringency or pain. There is no good cure for white spots, and the treatment principles mainly include regular review, removal of undesirable local stimuli and prevention of cancer.
