Cytologic smears were studied in 10 patients with oral leucoplakia, both from the lesions and the six normal areas Qf the mucosa.
Smears of normal and pathologic areas of patients with leucoplakia showed some evidence of increased keratinization. This evidence was most marked in smears from the lesions themselves and in some cases was striking enough to be of diagnostic value. No cytologic characteristics were found suggesting premalignant or malignant changes.
