Hyperplastic candidiasis is also known as candidal leukoplakia. It is a form of oral candidiasis that is classically presented as a white patch on the commissures of the oral mucosa and it is mainly caused by Candida albicans.
The lesions are asymptomatic and but regress after appropriate antifungal therapy and correction of the underlying cause. In case the treatment of lesions is not done, then a small portion may develop dysplasia and later progress into carcinoma.
