Abstract

Leukemia is a heterogeneous group of hematological disorders that arises from a hematopoietic stem cell characterized by a disordered differentiation and proliferation of neoplastic cells. The prevalence of leukemia is high in juveniles and adults under 35 years. Gingival manifestations of leukemia include gingiva bleeding, enlargement, pallor, petechial, ulceration, which may be the first clinical signs of leukemia. In the dental clinic, identification of leukemia-associated gingival lesions, referring patients to hematologists without delay will improve the prognosis of leukemia. Diagnosis and antidiastole of leukemia-associated gingival lesions have been discussed with reference to the related cases.
