A pre-malignant lesion is a lesion that, while not cancerous, has strong potential for becoming cancerous. An example would be a callous-like area between the cheek and gum where someone who chews tobacco keeps the tobacco plug. Given enough time, that area will often turn cancerous. Sometimes a chronic irritation from an ill-fitting denture can be called pre-malignant. The cause of a pre-malignant lesion should be determined and eliminated, and the lesion should usually be biopsied to make sure it is not cancer.
