Focal Epithelial Hyperplasia

Hyperplasia of the mucous membrane of the lips, tongue, and less commonly, the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, and palate, presenting soft, painless, round to oval sessile papules about 1 to 4 mm in diameter. The condition usually occurs in children and young adults and has familial predilection, lasting for several months, sometimes years, before running its course. A viral etiology is suspected, the isolated organism being usually the human papillomavirus. (Jablonski, Illustrated Dictionary of Dentistry; Belshe, Textbook of Human Virology, 2d ed, p954)

Excerpt	Reference
"The name "multifocal epithelial hyperplasia" is more accurate than those previously proposed designations, because it is more precise to describe the clinical and microscopic features of the disease."	( Garcés-Ortíz, M; Hernández-Guerrero, JC; Ledesma-Montes, C, 2007)
"Focal epithelial hyperplasia is a rare disease of the oral mucosa caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV)."	( Cortina de la Calle, P; García-Arpa, M; Romero-Aguilera, G; Sánchez-Caminero, P; Vera-Iglesias, E, 2007)
"Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia is a rare disease associated with human papilloma virus types 13 and 32."	( Agnew, C; Alexander, S; Prabhu, N, 2017)
