Popis:	Idiopathic leukoplakia is a rare potentially malignant lesion, usually found on the tongue with an increased risk of malignant transformation as compared to the tobacco associated form. The risk of malignant transformation increases with age. Diagnosis poses a challenge to the clinician as it is diagnosed by exclusion of other possible causes leading to hyperkeratosis. We present one such rare case in an elderly male patient who was followed up for a year to record the course of the lesion and to report recurrences, if any.
