title: [Histochemical study of lectin receptor and cell morphometric analysis on oral leukoplakias, epithelial dysplasia and squamous carcinoma].
abstract: The histochemical study of lectin receptor and the cell morphometric analysis were applied to cases to oral mucosal leukoplakias in order to find the differences between abnormal and normal cells in premalignant tissues. Results showed that the cell morphological change and glycosyl change of the cell surface in leukoplakias with severe epithelial dysplasia were similar to those of carcinoma, which suggests that the above methods may be used to differentiate the degree of the epithelial dysplasia of oral mucosal leukoplakias.
