Zusammenfassung:	Erythroplakia is a red mucosal macule with a chronic evolution. It is diagnosed after excluding traumatic, vascular, or inflammatory etiologies. Erythroplakia is rare in the upper aerodigestive tract. It affects middle-aged adults. The main predisposing factors are those of in situ carcinoma. Lesions are mainly located on lips or mucosa. Erythroleukoplakia may also occur. Ninety-one percent of erythroplakia are severe dysplasia, in situ carcinoma, or invasive carcinoma. Excision and histopathological examination are mandatory.
