Focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH), a human papillomavirus-related oral condition, presents as painless lesions. This study reports five cases in Switzerland among patients of Turkish and North African descent, noting its occurrence in diverse populations globally.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious diseases

Background:

  • Focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) is a benign oral mucosal condition.
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) is implicated as the causative agent.
  • FEH prevalence varies across different ethnic and geographic groups.

Observation:

  • Five new cases of FEH were identified in Switzerland.
  • Patients were primarily of Turkish and North African descent.
  • Lesions were multiple, painless, and located on various oral sites, including the tongue.

Findings:

  • The study confirmed the human papillomavirus (HPV) origin of the observed FEH lesions.
  • A literature review of 1067 cases revealed FEH occurrence in diverse populations, including American Indians, Eskimos, and Europeans.

  • A notable observation was the frequent reporting of FEH in individuals of Turkish or North African extraction in European and Israeli cases.

    • Implications:

    • These findings contribute to understanding the global distribution and ethnic predilection of FEH.
    • Highlights the importance of considering HPV in the differential diagnosis of oral mucosal lesions.
    • Suggests potential genetic or environmental factors influencing FEH susceptibility in specific populations.
