Abstract

Focal epithelial hyperplasia is an uncommon benign oral condition that occurs mainly in young individuals of certain racial groups. The lesions most commonly affect the mucosal surfaces of the lips and they have been observed frequently to regress within a few months. This is a report of an unusual case of focal epithelial hyperplasia in a young black adult presenting with generalized involvement of the gingiva. There is no clinical evidence of regression of the lesions and the case remains similar to the original appearance 2 years after diagnosis. The diagnosis and management of focal epithelial hyperplasia are discussed.
