Abstract

Heck's disease is a familial benign lesion affecting the oral mucosa and skin caused by Human papilloma viruses 13 and 32. This condition is quite rare in the Indian subcontinent and till date less than 10 case reports have been published. Females are predominantly affected. It is important for an oral physician to be aware and possess sufcient knowledge about these lesions as these lesions are highly contagious. Further, the presence of these lesions may indicate an underlying immunodecient state of the patient. This paper reports an unusual case of Heck's disease in a 30 year old Indian male.
