Unmasking the Grey Zone of Hyalinization with a Proposed Classification of Oral Hyalinizing Lesions

摘要

Histopathology encompasses a variety of formations projected as different shades of pink and purple. The appearance of every specific substance is attributed to the pathogenesis or process of its very being. Hyalinization is one such routinely encountered appearance, the pathogenesis of which remains untouched. Thus, an attempt has been made to unveil the gray zone of hyalinization as well as clinically correlate it to oral lesions. A classification for oral lesions showing hyalinization has also been proposed.
