 AB    The first case of oral hairy leukoplakia in an HIV-negative patient with
       Behcet's syndrome is reported. The patient was a 47-year-old woman with
       bilateral lesions on the tongue. The clinic and histologic appearances
       were typical of hairy leukoplakia, and Epstein-Barr virus was
       demonstrated in the epithelial cells by DNA in situ hybridization. The
       patient had been on systemic steroid therapy for 15 years to control
       lesions of Behcet's syndrome. The literature now records 30 HIV-negative
       patients with hairy leukoplakia.
