There is still controversy about the classification of laryngeal preneoplastic lesions. In this study, we compared the World Health Organization (WHO) and Ljubljana histological classifications with regard to laryngeal epithelial hyperplastic-dysplastic lesions in a single series to determine their relation to statistically significant criteria when the mechanisms of neoplastic progression are considered, Emphasis was put on p53 expression, proliferative activity, and angiogenesis.
