Dilemmas in managing oral dysplasia: a case report and literature review
Abstract:
Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a premalignant lesion which has an unpredictable course of progression. Its management has remained controversial due to a lack of high-quality prospective studies evaluating the different treatment modalities.1 We present a patient with a long history of OED which subsequently transformed into malignancy. The clinical features of OED and the controversies surrounding its management, as they present in the current literature, will also be reviewed and discussed.
