Abstract:

There is a significant link between the practice of tobacco chewing, areca nut chewing, and smoking and the development of VH, which can transform into VC or oral squamous cell carcinoma. Studies have shown that the rate of malignant transformation of VH is 5.1% is approximately 54.6 months, while the transformation rate of VL is between 4-15% within 5-8 years. The location of the lesions poses a great challenge for a dermatologist to treat this disease, while there are various treatments like surgical excision, electrosurgery, cryotherapy and immunotherapy. Here we explore a simple and efficient way that can be implemented by dermatologists in their clinical practice with the use of Carbon dioxide laser.
