Abstract
It is essential that health care providers performing intraoral examinations are aware that PVL is a distinct and rare form of multifocal oral leukoplakia. PVL commonly affects females above the age of 62. Currently, little is known about its etiopathogenesis. Additionally, no specific treatment modality has proven to be effective in aborting its progression. Because of its high recurrence potential and relentless progression to squamous cell carcinoma, all recurrent and multifocal white lesions of the oral cavity should be viewed with suspicion.
