Warty dyskeratoma

Abstract

A case is reported of a 53-year-old woman, who had had for one year a wart-like papillomatus lesion on the alveolar process in the region corresponding to m The remaining mucosa exhibited a normal clinical picture. The patient's general health was satisfactory and no skin manifestations of interest were apparent. The lesion was extirpated and examined histologically and microradiographically and was found to have histopathological characteristic of the same kind as in warty dyskeratoma. The discussion is concerned with aetiological factors and with problems of differential diagnosis.
