Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia A Clinico Pathological Entity: An update
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is considered to be a progressive type of oral leukoplakia that is impossible to recognize in its nascent stages. The condition typically begins as a white plaque of hyper keratosis that eventually becomes a multifocal disease with confluent exophytic and proliferative features. It is observed most frequently in elderly women of fifth and six decades of life at the time of diagnosis. This article describes the clinical aspects and histological features and dealing with controversies in diagnosis.
