Abstract

A case of multiple fibroepithelial hyperplasias of the oral mucosa in a 46-year-old man is reported. Oral examination revealed a mouth with multiple papules and nodules on the lower lip, upper lip, commisure, buccal mucosa, tongue, and palate. Biopsy specimens from buccal mucosa showed a characteristic picture of fibroepithelial hyperplasias. He has been treated with vitamin A 3, 000 IU a day for forty-two months and the lesion flattened gradually.
