Abstract
|
|
|
|
Leukoedema is a white or whitish-gray edematous lesion of the buccal and labial oral mucosa. Leukoedema is relatively frequent in Negro people, but it is rare in Koreans. A 14-year-old Korean woman presented with a 2-year-history of asymptomatic whitish-gray plaques on both the buccal and labial mucosae. The histopathological examination revealed acanthosis and intracellular edema without atypical cells. Herein we report on a rare case of leukoedema of the oral mucosa in a Korean woman.
