Abstract

Highlights: Prediction of MT in OPMDs is a greatest challenge for the investigators. Any consistent feature at surgical margins can be a vital prognostic marker for MT. Inflammation similar to lichenoid infiltrates is linked to a poor prognosis in OSCC. Lichenoid infiltrate OSF could be an indictor for initiation of MT in OSF.
