malignant means cancerous
Thank you very very much for your help.I have chked the net.The information about leukoplakia has also made me have a fit.It is said that leukoplakia can be a symbol of H I V but my point is I have nvr done anything to get that.It is also said that leukoplakia can be a sign of cancer.I nvr smoked drank or touched tobacco ever in my life.I feel I have to go to the doc soon.Tell me something -as you have said does having a malignant lession mean something dangerous to life?
White lesion is generally referred to leukoplakia, which is a non-speific entity.There is a long list of differential diagnosis underneath leukoplakia, whick can vary from innocuous lesion,for example, frictional hyperkeratosis, to malignant lesion. Generally, a malignant lesion tends to present non-healing ulcerated surface, ill-defined border, indurated consistency, increase in size quickly. Seeing an oral pathologist or oral surgeon is advised.
