Focal epithelial hyperplasia in a human immuno-deficiency virus patient treated with laser surgery

         

摘要

Focal epithelial hyperplasia(FEH),or Heck’s disease,is a rare disease of the oral mucosa;it is mostly found in children or young adults who are immunosuppressed and who live in regions with low socioeconomic status.It is characterized by asymptomatic papules on the oral mucosa,gingiva,tongue,and lips.Healing can be spontaneous,and treatment is indicated if there are aesthetic or functional complications.Human papillomavirus,especially genotypes 13 and 32,has been associated with FEH and is detected in the majority of lesions.Histopathologically,FEH is characterized by parakeratosis,epithelial hyperplasia,focal acanthosis,and fusion and horizontal outgrowth of epithelial ridges.A 37-year-old male patient was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Sciences at the Sapienza University of Rome,complaining of numerous exophytic lesions in his mouth.He stated that the lesions were not painful but he had experienced occasional bleeding after incidental masticatory trauma.He had received no previous treatment for the oral lesions.His medical history revealed that he was human immuno-deficiency virus positive and was a smoker with numerous,asymptomatic oral papules clinically and histologically corresponding to FEH.The labial and buccal mucosa were especially affected by lesions.Surgical treatment was performed using a 532-nm potassium titanyl phosphate laser(SmartLite,Deka,Florence,Italy)in continuous mode with a 300μm fiber and power of 1.4 W(power density 1980.22 W/cm2).After anesthesia without vasoconstrictors,the lesions were tractioned with sutures or an Allis clamp and then completely excised.The lesions were preserved in 10%formalin for histological examination,which confirmed the clinical diagnosis of FEH.In this case,the laser allowed excellent control of bleeding,without postoperative sutures,and optimal wound healing.
