In the present review article in a series of two, epidemiologic data, etiologic factors, possible differential diagnoses, and the histopathologic characteristics of OE and OEL will be presented and discussed regarding the current literature. [hub.hku.hk]

These lesions most commonly present clinically as white patches (leukoplakia). However, they may also be red (erythroplakia), or red and white (erythroleukoplakia). [unboundmedicine.com]

If the pathology report is not consistent with history and clinical presentation of the lesion, consider repeating pathologic review, repeat biopsy or refer. [jcda.ca]

Erythroplakia shows dysplastic features and often presents as ‘carcinoma in situ ’ or ‘invasive carcinoma’ at the time of biopsy. 17 - 19 Heavy alcohol consumption and tobacco use are known to be important aetiological factors. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
