    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Oncology
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Leukoplakia is a potentially precancerous lesion.
    • Long-term outcomes for glossal leukoplakia require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term risk of malignancy in patients diagnosed with leukoplakia of the tongue.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 117 cases of tongue leukoplakia.
    • Biopsy confirmation of non-malignancy.
    • Long-term patient follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • 20 (17%) patients developed carcinoma of the tongue.
    • 11 (9.4%) patients developed malignancy at other sites.
    • Nine patients died from tongue cancer.

    Conclusions:

    • Glottal leukoplakia cases necessitate continuous follow-up.
    • Early detection and monitoring are crucial for managing oral potentially malignant disorders.
