Does Reinke's Edema Grade Determine Premalignant Potential?

CONCLUSIONS: Size of RE lesion does not reflect premalignancy. The majority of RE lesions, regardless of size, have little to no premalignant potential. Severe dysplasia/carcinoma in situ may be more likely seen in grade 4 lesions; however, the paucity of severe dysplasia published in RE data and in this cohort preclude any formal inference. Further study of grade 4 lesions is warranted. PMID: 30187764 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
