 | Leukoplakia, erythroplakia and erythroleukoplakia are the chief clinical entities recognized as oral premalignant lesions. |
| Erythroplakia is a clinical term that refers to a red patch on oral mucous membranes. |
| Biopsy is mandatory for all types of erythroplakia because 91% of erythroplakias represent severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, or invasive squamous cell carcinoma. |
| Oral Erythroplakia, 1995 paper (5016 words) |
| Erythroplakia is an uncommon and subtly innocuous change of the oral mucosa, but it has very specific and identifiable clinical characteristics, specific therapies, and specific prognostic features. |
| Erythroplakia is still erythroplakia with or without dysplastic epithelial cells, so long as it cannot be classified as one of the other forms of red mucosal lesions. |
| Erythroplakia is a lesion which should be consciously sought for in every oral soft tissue examination of patients older than 35 years of age. |
