Abstract

The oral cavity presents with an array of white lesions ranging from physiological alteration to extensive malignant entities. Among them, proliferative verrucous leukoplakia is a rare highly aggressive multifocal form of leukoplakia that poses a high risk for malignant transformation. Etiopathogenesis and its diagnostic criteria have remained speculative since its inception. The diagnosis of this form of leukoplakia is challenging and it requires updated knowledge and expertise to identify this condition. All the cases of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia are resistant to treatment and have high chances of recurrence. In the present case report, we aim to report and document two cases of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, which were diagnosed in a dental college. The present case report can serve as a guide to young dental surgeons to spot cases of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia and to refer them to tertiary care hospitals for treatment.
