YELLOW LESIONS IN ORAL CAVITY

Yellow Lesions in the Oral Cavity provides a focused overview of oral conditions that present with yellow discoloration, an important yet often overlooked clinical finding in dentistry. Changes in mucosal color can offer valuable clues for diagnosing a variety of local and systemic conditions.

This book systematically discusses a range of yellow oral lesions, including Fordyce granules, oral lymphoepithelial cysts, dermoid cysts, lipomas, verruciform xanthoma, granular cell tumors, and sialolithiasis, along with systemic conditions such as jaundice and amyloidosis. Each lesion is presented with emphasis on its etiology, clinical features, histopathology, differential diagnosis, and management.

Written for dental students, postgraduate trainees, oral medicine specialists, and practicing clinicians, the book provides a clear and structured approach to understanding yellow lesions of the oral cavity. By highlighting the diagnostic significance of mucosal color changes, it serves as both an academic reference and a practical guide for clinical practice.
