1/16. focal epithelial hyperplasia: a multifocal oral human papillomavirus infection.Widespread, slightly elevated and confluent nodules are observed throughout the oral mucosa in a young Hispanic girl. Repeated irritation of the soft tissues from a compromised occlusion is an aggravating factor for the spread of these lesions. A diagnosis of focal epithelial hyperplasia, a human papillomavirus infection, is made following histopathologic diagnosis and viral typing. Recognition of this specific type of warts is important in order to avoid the mistaken identification of condyloma acuminata, which may have significant repercussions in the life of a young child.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/16. Oral focal epithelial hyperplasia.focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) or Heck disease, is a rare viral infection of the oral mucosa caused by HPV 13 or HPV 32. In Caucasians there have been only a few cases reported. We present the first case in greece in a young Caucasian girl in which HPV 13 was detected with PCR analysis. The patient was successfully treated with CO2 laser.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/16. Successful topical treatment of focal epithelial hyperplasia (Heck's disease) with interferon-beta.We report the successful topical treatment of focal epithelial hyperplasia (Heck's disease) with interferon-beta (Fiblaferon gel). Topical treatment with interferon-beta appears to be an effective, simple, non-invasive, cheap and low-risk alternative to other invasive or surgical therapeutic modalities.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/16. Recurrent focal epithelial hyperplasia due to HPV13 in an hiv-positive patient.There are few reports on focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) in association with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection; thus the relationship between them has not been completely clarified yet. We present a case of recurrent FEH in an hiv-positive man (the first described in belgium), which, according to the PCR-dna testing, was due to human papilloma virus type 13 (HPV13). To our knowledge, based on the accessible literature, this type of HPV has not been detected in any other documented study of FEH in hiv-positive patients before. Our patient experienced three recurrences of FEH in 1 year. It is therefore suggested that immunodeficiency due to hiv infection is responsible for the HPV-related FEH and the subsequent recurrences. In order to support the consideration of FEH as an oral manifestation of an hiv-related opportunistic infection, every new 'HPV-type' oral lesion in hiv-positive patients must be completely documented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/16. focal epithelial hyperplasia treated with interferon alpha-2a.BACKGROUND: focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) is an uncommon benign oral condition that occurs mainly in young individuals of certain racial groups. methods: A 21-year-old Caucasian man presented with FEH of the oral mucosa. The patient was treated with interferon alpha-2a three times a week for 14 weeks intramuscularly (a total of 162 million units). RESULTS: At 2 months after the end of therapy, the papular lesions showed partial regression. CONCLUSION: This treatment modality should be used in cases with diffuse focal epithelial hyperplasia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/16. focal epithelial hyperplasia (Heck's disease): report of two cases with PCR detection of human papillomavirus dna.focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) (Heck's disease) is essentially a benign oral infection produced by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Although this condition is known to exist in numerous populations and ethnic groups, it is relatively rare in South-East Asia. The following report is based on two cases of adult FEH with histopathological features in favour of the disease. In addition, polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the presence of HPV dna in the lesions in order to confirm the histopathological diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/16. focal epithelial hyperplasia. A rare disease in our area.focal epithelial hyperplasia is a benign, asymptomatic disease, occurring with very low frequency within our population. It appears as papules, principally on the lower lip, although it can also be found on the retro-commissural mucosa and tongue, and less frequently on the upper lip, gingiva and palate. We present the clinical case of a 9-year-old Saharan girl with lesions that clinically and histologically corresponded to a focal epithelial hyperplasia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/16. Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia. Report of nine cases.Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia (MEH) is also known as focal epithelial hyperplasia, Heck's disease or multifocal papillomavirus-induced epithelial hyperplasia. It is characterised by the presence of multiple lesions in the oral mucosa of children and it has been associated with the presence of the human papillomavirus. The aim of this study was to determine the clinico-pathological features of the cases diagnosed as MEH in the Service of dermatology of the Hospital Manuel Gea Gonzalez (SDHMGG). The files of the SDHMGG were reviewed and all cases diagnosed as MEH were retrieved. Nine MEH cases were found. Most of the patients were 20 year-old or younger (67%) and females were more commonly affected (78%). All patients presented multiple lesions and always, close relatives with similar lesions were found. Lesions were located most commonly in the buccal mucosa, lower lip and commissures. MEH is a soft tissue intraoral condition that needs treatment solely of the traumatised lesions or those with cosmetic problems. Remaining lesions will disappear with the age of the patients. It is suggested that this entity should be named multifocal epithelial hyperplasia since this name describes better the clinico-pathological and microscopic features of the disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/16. Extensive focal epithelial hyperplasia: case report.focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) is a rare benign lesion caused by human papillomavirus subtype 13 or 32. The condition occurs in numerous populations and ethnic groups. A higher incidence in close communities and among family members indicates infectious pathogenesis. A 21-year-old woman with FEH is described, in whom the lesions had persisted for 10 years. A literature review is also presented, with emphasis on manifestations in the oral mucosa and histopathological features.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/16. focal epithelial hyperplasia (Heck's disease): report of a case in a girl of Brazilian Indian descent.Summary. Background. This report describes the case of a patient with focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH), a rare but distinctive entity of viral aetiology with characteristic clinical and histopathological features. Case report. The condition is usually seen in children and adolescents of American Indian and Eskimo background. Surgical removal of papillomatous lesions is the treatment of choice, either for aesthetic reasons, or when the lesions interfere with function or are readily traumatized. recurrence and the site of new lesions are unpredictable, and continued review of the patient is often necessary. The patient described here has been followed for 24 months without recurrences or changes in the aspect of the remaining lesions. Conclusion. This case highlights a possible genetic predilection for FEH, since the patient is a descent of a Brazilian Xavante Indian.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = hyperplasia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
