- Abstract
Oral white lesions that cannot be clinically or pathologically characterized by any specific disease are referred to as leukoplakia. Such lesions are well known for their propensity for malignant transformation to the extent of 10-20%. Exfoliative cytology is a simple and useful screening tool for detection of malignant or dysplastic changes in such lesions.
