EPITHELIAL DYSPLASIA AND SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
This gallery shows examples of premalignant conditions (epithelial dysplasia and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia) and malignant conditions (squamous cell carcinoma and verrucous carcinoma).
This Oral Pathology specimen represents a tongue biopsy of a 36-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma in-situ.
This Oral Pathology specimen is from the mandibular lingual gingiva of a 55-year-old female with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia
This Oral Pathology specimen is from the left maxillary palatal gingiva of a 55-year-old female with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.
This Oral Pathology specimen is from the mandibular anterior gingiva of a 55-year-old female with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.
This Oral Pathology specimen is from the left ventral tongue of a 55-year-old female with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. Note the appearance of lichenoid striations that can be seen with this process. Many times early cases of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia are misdiagnosed as lichen planus.
This Oral Pathology specimen is from the left mandibular attached gingiva of a 55-year-old female with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. Note the subtle appearance of lichenoid features that can be seen with this process. Many times early cases of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia are misdiagnosed as lichen planus.
This Oral Pathology specimen is from the left buccal mucosa of a 55-year-old female with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. Note the appearance of lichenoid striations that can be seen with this process. Many times early cases of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia are misdiagnosed as lichen planus
