Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology and viral infections.

Background:

  • Focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) is a benign oral mucosa proliferation.
  • FEH is primarily associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 13 and 32.

Observation:

  • A case report of an Ecuadorian boy presenting with oral mucosal lesions.

Findings:

  • Clinical and histological examination confirmed Focal epithelial hyperplasia.
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 13 DNA was identified in the lesions.

Implications:

  • This case reinforces the association between HPV type 13 and FEH.
  • Understanding the viral etiology aids in managing this benign oral condition.
