Abstract
A retrospective study on the incidence of malignant transformation in oral leukoplakia was performed covering the period from 1970 to 1980. Carcinoma developed in 11 of the 157 patients, and this 7% incidence increased to 8.9% when the same patients were followed prospectively for 6 more years. Dysplasia was found in biopsies from 51 patients (31.8%), and was significantly more frequent in women than men (P less than 0.05). Dysplasia grade and cancer development were related to updated clinical and etiological parameters.Entities:
