[Nasalleukoplakia：update on diagnosis and management]

Nasal leukoplakia, defined as nasal mucosal grayish white lesion accompanied by adjacent mucosa thickening and hyperemia, is a kind of precancerous lesion. Since a case of nasal septum mucosal leukoplakia reported by Edley in 1955 and 62 cases of nasal leukoplakia reported by Liu Chun-Lin in 1964, few cases were reported. In this review, the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of nasal mucosal leukoplakia are systematically summarized. Attention should be paid to this disease to reduce the possibility of incidence of malignant tumors.
