Article Synopsis
  • Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is an uncommon and potentially dangerous oral condition characterized by growing areas of leukoplakia that may have a warty appearance, predominantly seen in women over 50.
  • The most affected areas are the gums, cheeks, and sides of the tongue, and PVL is noted for its significant risk of turning into cancer.
  • Dentists need to recognize these lesions for proper referral and management, which can be difficult due to the likelihood of PVL reappearing after treatment, prompting ongoing observation and surgical options.
