Someone added references to Willie Parker, so I undid it. -Love, some guy who was reading the page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.12.70 ( talk) 14:19, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm confused -- is that supposed to mean it's most common in adults, or is the statistic wrong? Dan 20:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Dear sir
HOw to improve from it.

If there are any other editors interested in this page, here's where we're at. During the GAR, it was my opinion that the article covers leukoplakia as a sign/symptoms as a white patch (e.g. classificatin), as a disorder by delving into it's use as a synonym for dysplasia (histologic appearance) and discusses it's use as a diagnosis of exlusion (from the ICD-10). While the article is extremely well researched, it makes the topic confusing for an average reader imo. It was during the middle of this discussion that Lesion left Wikipedia. After researching the topic and speaking with 2 of the worlds experts, I believe the article needs to be split into 2. One, with leukoplakia as a sign/symtpoms (for white patch) where the different classes, differential diagnosis, etc... resides, and the second article for oral dysplasia where we can talk about causes, histologic appearance, prognosis, etc... If there's anyone that would like to discuss this, please let me know. Ian Furst ( talk) 09:33, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
As far as I can see, nothing in the current article states that this condition is a sign (an abnormal feature elicited by a physician) or a by-word for dysplasia in the mouth. I checked a few of the references, that I could access, and the condition was not presented with the dichotomy suggested above, but rather as a single topic. You have to question whether such experts being consulted are giving a mainstream view, as represented by good references, or their own opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.41.85.252 ( talk) 14:29, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
We also have a page about this rare association. I'm not sure whether it's notable enough for a separate page. Maybe better to merge the content here?
Leukoplakia of the esophagus may be a premalignant lesion
[2], but I can't find any recent proposal for the association of leukoplakia with tylosis and esophageal carcinoma as a specific nosological entity.

86.157.144.73, we already mention this in the "leukoplakia" article. Apart from adding the detail that it is a rare condition, and maybe also transferring the 1 reference from "leukoplakia with tylosis and esophageal carcinoma", there is nothing else to take from the other one line article. 92.41.92.21 ( talk) 20:53, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
