Journey of Leukoplakia So Far – An Insight on Shortcomings of Definitions and Classifications

چکیده
Leukoplakia is one of the most frequently encountered white lesions by the clinicians. The definitions and terminologies associated with leukoplakia have been proposed by various authors. Also, various attempts have been made to clinically and histopathologically grade leukoplakia by evaluating different criteria. Although there are numerous reviews that have discussed the definitions and classifications of leukoplakia, none has attempted to provide a clear visualization of the shortcomings associated with each definition and classification. Hence, this review article is an attempt to highlight the main points as well as shortcomings in terminology, definitions, clinical classifications and histopathologic gradings which have been associated with leukoplakia till date.
