- Abstract
A 69-yea-old white man had a papule for several months on the anterior aspect of the left side of the gingiva in the region where the canine tooth had been. A biopsy was taken and the site was then electrodesiccated on October 20, 1977. The biopsy report at that time read "suppurative dermatitis with atypical keratinocytic hyperplasia and ulceration." The lesion promptly recurred and was electrodesiccated and curetted ten days later and again two weeks after that upon second recurrence. It has since recurred for a third time. Now the patient has an elevated, soft, spongy mass, 5 mm in diameter, on the left side of the upper gingiva. He wears a partial denture that covers the lesion.
