title: Oral lesions with a papillary surface texture: clinical and pathological correlations.
abstract: Oral mucosal lesions with a papillary surface texture are a heterogenous group of conditions with widely varying clinical behaviour. The aetiology is variable and includes genetic, infective, traumatic or neoplastic processes. A biopsy is required to establish a diagnosis and the microscopic examination must be coordinated with the clinical findings. This paper reviews the clinical and histopathological features of papillary or verruciform lesions.
