SEGURA SAINT-GERONS, Rafael et al. Focal epithelial hyperplasia: A rare disease in our area. Med. oral patol. oral cir. bucal (Ed.impr.) [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.2, pp.128-131. ISSN 1698-4447.

Focal epithelial hyperplasia is a benign, asymptomatic disease, occurring with very low frequency within our population. It appears as papules, principally on the lower lip, although it can also be found on the retro-commissural mucosa and tongue, and less frequently on the upper lip, gingiva and palate. We present the clinical case of a 9-year-old Saharan girl with lesions that clinically and histologically corresponded to a focal epithelial hyperplasia.

Palabras clave : Focal epithelial hyperplasia; Heck’s disease.
