ABSTRACT

Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia (MEH) is a benign lesion associated with the human papillomavirus. It is characterized by warty-looking papules located on the lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, and gums. Objective: To describe the case of a girl with MEH in whom trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was used for her treatment. Case report: Eight-year-old patient with papulo-nodular lesions on the tongue and cheeks. The diagnosis of MEH was confirmed by detection of HPV. Weekly applications of TCA at 90% were performed on the affected sites, for 15 sessions. Positive changes were seen after eight days. At 10 months of follow-up, a decrease in the volume of the lesions and in the symptoms was observed. Conclusion: TCA seems to be an effective option for the treatment of MEH in children.
