An oral lesion (which includes aphthous ulcers) is an ulcer that occurs on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. They are very common, occurring in association with many diseases and by many different mechanisms.
Common superficial oral lesions include candidiasis, recurrent herpes labialis, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, erythema migrans, hairy tongue, and lichen planus.
Oral leukoplakia is the most common premalignant oral lesion. For persistent white or erythematous oral lesions, biopsy should be performed to rule out neoplastic change or cancer. Most oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.
Upon compilation of the relevant data, oral ulcerative lesions were categorized into three major groups: acute, chronic, and recurrent ulcers and into five subgroups: solitary acute, multiple acute, solitary chronic, multiple chronic, and solitary/multiple recurrent, based on the number and duration of lesions.
The most common form of oral cavity cancer is squamous cell carcinoma, which accounts for about 94% of all oral cavity malignancies. Squamous cells are epithelial cells that form the surface covering of the oral mucosa; thus oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) is a malignancy of surface epithelial cells.
Oral lesions are mouth ulcers or sores, which may be painful. They can include abnormal cell growth and rare tongue and hard-palate (roof of mouth) disorders. Types and causes include: Fever blisters – These contagious, often painful blisters on lips, gums or the roof of your mouth can last five to 10 days.
A white lesion of unknown cause which is considered precancerous (Warnakulasuriya 2007 ). It is a common premalignant lesion of the oral mucosa. Risk factors include consumption of alcohol and tobacco, microorganisms, and trauma.
Both intraoral and extra oral mucosal sites might be involved. Intraoral lesions are symmetrical, thickened, white, corrugated or velvety, diffuse, spongy plaques of variable sizes with an elevated, irregular, and fissural surface. Buccal mucosa is affected bilaterally in most patients [4,5,7,8].
The most common lesion is called the aphthous ulcer, or more commonly known as the canker sore.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned. Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue. Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, ...
