Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare, but relentless, form of leukoplakia, with a high recurrence rate and a tendency to become malignant, either as an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) or verrucous carcinoma (VC). Its aetiology is mainly unknown, and there is uncertainty around its management owing to its resistance to most treatments with a high rate of recurrence. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Understanding PVL is key to making prompt diagnosis and referral for improved outcome of treatment due to its high malignancy transformation rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
