Leukoedema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukoedema


Leukoedema (also termed leucoedema)[1] is a blue, grey or white appearance of mucosae, particularly the buccal mucosa (the inside of the cheeks), but may also occur on the mucosa of the larynx or vagina. It is a harmless and very common condition. Because it is so common, it has been argued that it may in fact represent a variation of the normal appearance rather than a disease,[2] but empirical evidence suggests that leukoedema is an acquired condition caused by local irritation.[3] It is found more commonly in black skinned people and in those who smoke. The term is derived from the Greek words leuko-, "white" and οἴδημα””oídēma, "swelling".
