  • Title: [Cell proliferation in oral candidal leukoplakia].
    Author: Gao Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1993 Jan; 28(1):35-7, 64. PubMed ID: 8222947.
    Abstract:
    Epithelial thickness, mitotic activity and DNA synthesis in oral candidal leukoplakia (chronic hyperplastic candidosis) were studied. The results showed that the epithelium was thicker, the number of mitosis and DNA synthesis cells were more in candidal leukoplakia than in non-candidal leukoplakia. These findings indicate an active cell proliferation exists in candidal leukoplakia which may be a precancerous lesion.
