Mucosal leukoplakia

Leukoplakia is a white keratosis disease that occurs in the mucous membranes of the mouth or vulva. Oral mucosal white spot disease is more common in middle-aged men and older, and vulvar mucosal white spot disease is more common in postmenopausal women. Clinically, the lesions are characterized by punctate, flaky or stripe gray or milky keratinized plaques, which have a tendency to malignantly become squamous cell carcinoma. It is estimated that its malignant change rate is about 2%, the highest is only 4% to 6%. Clinical and local comprehensive treatment should be used clinically, and those with cancer should be removed early.
