Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia is a benign lesion of the palate seen most often in patients with a history of ill-fitting dentures or poor oral hygiene. The specific cause is unknown. Inflammatory papillary hyperplasia can occur at any age. However, it is most often seen in patients in the third to fifth decades. It occurs more frequently in males and whites. The best treatment is surgical removal. The prognosis is excellent, once the lesion is removed. The patient presented in this case report is a 10-year-old black girl without a history of a dental prosthesis. It is conjectured that poor oral hygiene and a habit of mouth breathing contributed to the occurrence of inflammatory papillary hyperplasia in this patient. The lesion was surgically removed, and the patient was followed up for a period of 18 months without recurrence of the lesion.
炎性乳头状增生是腭部的一种良性病变，最常见于有义齿佩戴不合适或口腔卫生差病史的患者。具体病因不明。炎性乳头状增生可发生于任何年龄。然而，最常见于30至50岁的患者。男性和白人中更为常见。最佳治疗方法是手术切除。一旦病变切除，预后良好。本病例报告中的患者是一名10岁黑人女孩，无义齿佩戴史。据推测，口腔卫生差和口呼吸习惯导致了该患者发生炎性乳头状增生。病变被手术切除，对患者进行了18个月的随访，病变未复发。
