Oral nodular excrescences in epidermolysis bullosa.
Two brothers are reported with what appears to be a recessive and dystrophic type of epidermolysis bullosa. The oral lesions seen in these patients consisted of small fibrous nodules that were liberally distributed on the bound-down mucosa. These lesions have not been previously reported. One of the offspring of these patients, who was not affected by epidermolysis bullosa, was missing a large number of teeth.
