ABSTRACT

Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia is a benign disease characterized by the presence of multiple papules in oral cavity mucosa. It is associated with HPV 13 and 32. In this paper, we describe three cases with similar clinical features, involving the presence of multiple painless papules localized in the oral mucosa and on the tongue, and displaying a slow and benign course. The condition had not been previously diagnosed by general dental practitioners. We made our diagnosis based on the pathognomonic clinical features of the lesions, family history, and evolution of the condition. The patients concerned were provided with information about their disease and kept under regular observation. The aim of this article is to describe the clinical features of multifocal epithelial hyperplasia and present a review of the literature on the etiology of the lesions, their evolution, differential diagnosis, and treatment.
