Dear Dr. White,

I am urgently referring Mr. Peter Johnson, a 60-year-old gentleman, for further assessment of a suspicious oral lesion.

He presented with a painful, non-healing ulcer on the lateral border of his tongue, persisting for more than three weeks. The lesion measures 1.5 cm and has irregular margins.

Mr. Johnson has a long history of smoking and occasional alcohol intake. Given the presentation, I am concerned about possible oral carcinoma.

I would appreciate your urgent evaluation and appropriate management.

Yours sincerely,
Dentist
