Since beginning of November, a depapillated area has appeared on the dorsum of my tongue. The aspect and the colour of this lesion changes during the day, a light pink in the morning, red in the evening, while size and location are increased a little in the latest weeks. A biopsy of the lesion has been done, this is the result: "Epithelial hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis without dysplasia, mild lympho plasmatic inflammatory infiltrate of the superficial area".
In your opinion, can I exclude any malignant or pre-malignant lesion (erythroplakia)?
many thanks regards Andrea | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 5,260 Likes: 3 "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 5,260 Likes: 3 | It sounds good so far but do find out what's causing it!
