Epithelial Focal Hyperplasia or Heck disease is an infrequent disease of the oral mucosa. It mainly affects children, without distinguishing sex or ethnic group. It is clinically characterized by the presence of white papules or of similar colour of the oral mucosa, small size, asymptomatic and with the tendency to converge and form papillomatous lesions. This disease has been associated with infection by human papilloma virus and genetic factors. A case of an eight year old girl is presented, who came to the Dermatology consultation at Andino Hospital Chimborazo Ecuador, with lesions in the oral mucosa with clinical and histopathological correspondence with Heck disease.
