Malignancies are preceded by potentially malignant disorders. Erythroplakia is one of the
precursors of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Erythroplakia is one of the type of premalignanat
disorder that have potential to convert into carcinoma most frequently. Erythroplakia poses a
major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We present a case of Erythroplakia in right side

current information from the literature. We also attempt to present the clinical relevance, and
the therapeutic modalities available for the management of the disease.
