What is Leukoplakia?

Leukoplakia is a condition where thick, white patches develop in the mouth, usually on the gums, tongue, inner cheeks, or the floor of the mouth. While most cases are benign, some may indicate early signs of cancer, especially when red areas are present (speckled leukoplakia).

Hairy Leukoplakia, another variant, often affects individuals with weakened immune systems and requires specialized care.

Symptoms of Leukoplakia

• White or gray patches that cannot be wiped away.

• Rough, ridged, or thickened patches with irregular edges.

• Patches mixed with red areas (erythroplakia) that carry a higher cancer risk.

• Fuzzy, folded white patches on the tongue (Hairy Leukoplakia).

Diagnosis at Relentcare ENT Centre

Our diagnostic process includes:

• Visual Examination: Assessing patches in the mouth.

• Biopsy for Cancer Testing:

  • Oral Brush Biopsy: Collecting surface cells.

  • Excisional Biopsy: Removing a small tissue sample or the entire patch for a definitive diagnosis.

Our team ensures a quick and accurate diagnosis to rule out serious conditions and begin prompt treatment.
