Oral leukoplakia inserted over a middle rhomboid glossitis
Keywords:
risk factors, oral cancer, leukoplakiaAbstract
Introduction: Leukoplakia is the most common premalignant lesion of the oral mucosa, predominantly between 40 and 60 years of age and in smokers. It is unusual for it to be inserted over a middle rhomboidal glossitis.
Objective: To present a case of oral leukoplakia inserted over a middle rhomboid glossitis.
Clinical case: A 49-year-old female patient was detected with a whitish lesion on the back of her tongue. An excision and biopsy of the lesion was performed, in which homogeneous leukoplakia was reported.
Conclusions: Early diagnosis and consequent management in the face of a premalignant lesion such as oral leukoplakia can prevent its cancerous transformation. The timely diagnosis that the stomatologist makes when a patient comes to the clinic for another reason remains the main tool capable of identifying cases of oral cancer early.
