Abstract
Glycogenic acanthosis (GA) is a benign lesion characterized by small, white, raised plaques commonly detected in the esophagus. Very few reports have described GA in the oral mucosa. We report two cases with bilateral buccal mucosa and on the bottom of the mouth. A 40-year-old woman was referred to us presenting with white lesions on bilateral buccal mucosae. She first noticed that the surface of the buccal mucosa was rough several years earlier. Biopsy results revealed GA. The second case was a 72-year-old woman referred to us with white lesions on the floor of her mouth. She first noticed white lesions on the oral floor 10 days before consultation. Biopsy was performed and it was diagnosis of GA.
