    Author: Weckx LL, Hidal LB, Marcucci G.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 1990 May; 69(5):341-2, 345-6. PubMed ID: 2379479.
    Abstract:
    Signs and local symptoms of leukemia in the oral cavity include paleness of the oral mucosa with gingival bleeding that develops into painless gingival hyperplasia, hemorrhages, and ulcerative necrotic lesions. These findings are common clinical manifestations of leukemias and frequently herald the onset of the disease. Because of their clinical importance, all such lesions deserve the full attention of dentists and physicians.
