 # Which one of the following conditons is least likely to be associated with an increased risk of oral cancer? 
a. Actinic Cheilosis 
b. Erythroplakia 
c. Leukoedema 
d. Leukoplakia 


The correct answer is C. Leukoedema. 

Leukoedema is a white and veil‐like alteration of the oral mucosa that is merely considered a normal variant. The condition is often encountered bilaterally in the buccal mucosa and sometimes at the borders of the tongue. Leukoedema is less clinically evident after stretching the mucosa, but reappears after this manipulation is discontinued.
