摘要：

Forty-six biopsy specimens from the buccal mucosa of Bolivian Indians who had chewed a coca leaf/lime mixture for a variable number of years were examined. Histologic leukoedema was a prominent finding on the side in which the chew was held. Large, spongy, vacuolated epithelial cells were noted in the stratum spinosum of a majority of the samples. No clinical or histologic evidence was found to support the idea that leukoedema may be a premalignant condition. None of these patients displayed buccal carcinoma, in spite of lengthy exposure to coca leaf and calcium hydroxide. © 1969.
