Abstract
The application of a dermoscope in the study of mucosal pathologies is increasingly gaining importance. An easy, noninvasive characterization of pathological changes serves as an aid to dermatologists, sometimes even obliviating the need for histopathology. The aim of the present case series was to describe the mucoscopic features of histologically proven oral leukoplakia. Five consecutive cases of histologically proven oral leukoplakia were included for mucoscopy. Polarized mucoscopy shows white-to-pink structureless areas (100%), intervening pink lines (80%), and surface corrugations (60%). The periphery of the lesions showed white clods (100%) and dotted vessels with irregular arrangement (60%).
