Abstract:
Leukoplakia does not show clinical characteristics of any other mucosal lesion except for the chronic use of tobacco. Clinical appearance of such lesions displays irregular, discontinuous, or continuous white plaques or non-scrapable patches that may be raised or flat on the surface of the oral mucous membrane. The presence of these lesions necessitates careful clinical and medical evaluation. This clinical image highlights a rare non-homogeneous leukoplakia in a 79-year-old man with a bifid tongue, including clinical features, differential diagnosis, and treatment.
