AB Hairy leukoplakia was first described in association with HIV infection.
Today hairy leukoplakia has come to represent a sign of
immunosuppression and not just of HIV infection. Although molecular
mechanisms have not been fully elucidated, Epstein-Barr virus appears to
play a significant role in its etiopathogenesis. We present four cases
that illustrate that HL may be seen in non-HIV and nonimmunocompromised
patients. The use of high potency topical steroids for the treatment of
oral vesiculoerosive diseases seems to have been a contributing factor
in two of these cases.
