The second article in this continuing medical education series discusses the clinical and histopathologic features of common premalignant and malignant lesions of the oral cavity. It is imperative for dermatologists to be able to appropriately recognize suspicious lesions, determine the need to obtain a biopsy specimen, counsel, and refer patients presenting with premalignant or malignant conditions. Given the higher rates of mortality and morbidity of oral mucosal malignancies because of late diagnosis, appropriate treatment with multidisciplinary care in a timely manner is essential to patients with these neoplasms.

口腔黏膜前病变和恶性病变的临床和病理发现

该继续医学教育系列的第二篇文章讨论了口腔常见的恶变前和恶性病变的临床和组织病理学特征。皮肤科医生必须能够正确识别可疑病变，确定是否需要获取活检标本，进行咨询，并转诊患有恶变前或恶性疾病的患者。鉴于由于诊断较晚而导致口腔粘膜恶性肿瘤的死亡率和发病率较高，因此对于患有这些肿瘤的患者，及时进行适当的多学科治疗是必不可少的。
