Hairy Leukoplakia in AIDS Quick Summary Introduction References Photos ... Prognosis The Gauley River in West Virginia, above the dam. Quick Review Hairy leukoplakia is a unique whitish, irregular plaque of the side of the tongue, sometimes with surface projections long enough to appear to be "hairs" but usually with only a granular or nodular appearance. It rarely is seen at on the cheek mucosa near the corners of the lips, and look-alike lesions have been reported in HIV-negative patients, especially those with lichen planus. This lesion causes no significant problem but it is a sign of AIDS, hence, the treatment is directed at the generalized and very serious HIV virus disease. While the virus is under control, hairy leukoplakia diminishes or disappears. Most lesions have virus, bacteria and fungi within them but they are not considered contagious in the usual sense.

People with compromised immune systems sometimes develop an unusual form of the disorder called hairy leukoplakia. In general, leukoplakia isn't painful, but the patches may be sensitive when you touch them or eat spicy foods. And though the disorder usually isn't dangerous, it can be serious. A small percentage of leukoplakic patches show early signs of cancer, and many cancers of the mouth (oral cancers) occur next to areas of leukoplakia. For that reason, it's best to see your dentist if you have unusual changes in your mouth lasting longer than a week. Oral and throat cancer Cancer Signs and symptoms White color Thick, rough texture

While hairy leukoplakia by itself is neither painful nor dangerous, it has a negative prognostic implication for HIV disease progression.

Ask the Experts about Oral Health and HIV Shape of Hairy Leukoplakia Jun 11, 2000 Hello, Dr. Reznik, I have a question regarding the *shape* of HIV-associated hairy leukoplakia lesions. If one has long, thin, white streaks bilaterally on the side of the tongue is this due to trauma (i.e. tongue chewer) or could it also be due to HIV? Is HIV related leukoplakia always bulky and amorphous? Thanks, F.S.T. Response from Dr. Reznik Dear F.S.T.: Oral hairy leukoplakia usually does not present as a long, thin, white bilateral line on the lateral borders of the tongue, but rather as white, corrugated (rough) areas that can appear anywhere on the lateral border of the tongue.

Prevention Leukoplakia Definition: Leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion that develops on the tongue or the inside of the cheek as a response to chronic irritation. Occasionally, leukoplakia patches develop on the female external genitalia. Alternative Names: Hairy leukoplakia; Smoker's keratosis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Leukoplakia is primarily a disorder of the mucous membranes of the mouth, caused by irritation. Lesions usually develop on the tongue, but they may also appear on the insides of the cheek. Irritation may result from rough teeth or rough places on dentures, fillings, and crowns. It may also result from smoking or other tobacco use (smoker's keratosis). Pipe smoking involves a high risk for development of leukoplakia, as does holding chewing tobacco or snuff in the mouth for a prolonged period of time. Leukoplakia patches may develop on the female external genital area, but the cause is unknown.
