 AB    Buccal hairy leukoplakia is associated with Epstein-Barr and HIV virus
       infections. The main symptom is the characteristic hairy lesion on side
       parts of the tongue without any other clinical signs. Histologically,
       there are hyperkeratosis, vacuolar degeneration, and presence of
       Candida, but no inflammatory infiltration. Antiviral drugs led to the
       regression of lesions, but there is a trend to relapse when treatment is
       interrupted.
