Non-homogeneous leukoplakia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/823236620

Non-homogenous leukoplakia is a lesion of non-uniform appearance. The colour may be predominantly white or a mixed white and red. The surface texture is irregular compared to homogenous leukoplakia, and may be flat (papular), nodular or exophytic. Non-homogenous leukoplakias have a greater risk of malignant transformation than homogenous leukoplakias.
