Krouse

Krouse classification is a system used by medical professionals to categorize lesions, particularly in the oral cavity or other mucous membranes, based on their appearance and risk of being cancerous. It helps clinicians determine the severity of a lesion and plan appropriate treatment. The system ranges from low-risk lesions that are likely benign to high-risk or potentially malignant lesions that require closer monitoring or intervention. By standardizing how lesions are classified, Krouse’s system aids in consistent diagnosis and management, ultimately supporting better patient outcomes.
