PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 57-year-old female smoker presents at the physician's clinic with a 7-month history of a nonpainful white patch below her tongue. She admits to drinking 2 to 3 beers in the evening and smoking 1 pack of cigarettes per day. Your examination reveals a painless white, thick lesion with fissuring below the tongue (Figure 44-1). A biopsy shows this to be premalignant and the patient is told that she must stop smoking and drinking. She is also referred to an oral surgeon for further evaluation of her dysplasia.
