Abstract
An elderly woman had a small verrucose hyperkeratotic papule on the hard palate. Histologic examination showed the lesion to be a warty dyskeratoma. Warty dyskeratoma may represent an abnormal keratinization response to intraoral trauma or inflammation. All 8 previously reported cases are reviewed. Clinically, the lesions appeared as verrucose hyperkeratotic papules or as focal mucosal depressions, sometimes filled with keratin. Some 8 of 9 lesions were located on the hard palate or on an alveolar ridge.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
