A nineteen-year-old, white female presents at the Dental
Hygiene Clinic for care. Medical history reveals the patient is fatigued
and is sick with a bacterial infection. Extraoral exam reveals an enlarged
lymph node on the left cervical chain. Intraoral findings include 2 slightly
raised, white plaques covering the left buccal mucous adjacent to #18
and #19 and #14. The lesions wipe off easily leaving a slight reddened
area. The patient noticed a slight burning sensation about three weeks
ago.
