Abstract

Oral leukoplakia is one of most prevalent oral potential malignant disorders caused due to smoking. Non homogenous forms of leukoplakia have the higher rates of malignant transformation. Clinical diagnosis of these lesions is essential to avoid the fatality. Hereby, we report a case of verrucous leukoplakia which was histo-pathologically diagnosed as verrucous leukoplakia with moderate dysplasia and managed with surgical excision.
