- Abstract
The article discusses oral verruca vulgaris, which is a benign, rough-surfaced exophytic, hyperplasia of epithelial tissue that is caused by a human papillomavirus. Intraoral verruca vulgaris appears as dome-shaped sessile papules or nodules with a rough papillomatous surface. The lesions often occur on the lips, hard palate, and gingiva. They should be treated through surgical excision, though some lesions will regress spontaneously. The recurrence of intraoral lesions may occur but it is unlikely.
