Abstract:
Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a special oral leukoplakia, which has the characteristics of high recurrence and canceration rate. In 2021, the American Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and the North American Association of head and neck Pathologists published "Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia: an expert consensus guideline for standardized assessment and reporting", and divided PVL into four categories: ①Corrugated ortho(para)hyperkeratotic lesion, not reactive; ②Bulky hyperkeratotic epithelial proliferation, not reactive; ③Squamous cell carcinoma, or suspicious for squamous cell carcinoma; and ④Does not fit any above category. This paper intends to interpret the new classifications of PVL in the guidelines in order to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
