An important part of this paper is devoted to the linguistic analysis of leukoplakia and leukoplasia expressions.

There is in Spanish the accurate translation, given by the expression leukoplakia, which is not only the adequate one for the exactness of its translation but also the one more conceptually adjusted to contemporary definition universally accepted, that is to say, a white plaque.
