Abstract
Focal acantholytic dyskeratosis (FAD) is an uncommon cutaneous lesion with an even rarer presentation in the oral cavity. While the condition is mostly limited to the head and neck region, there have been less than 50 cases reported in the oral cavity. Clinical presentation of the lesion is similar to many other conditions and a biopsy of the lesion can help to identify the condition due to its distinctive histopathological features. The purpose of this case report is to present a new case of focal acantholytic dyskeratosis in an extremely rare location, the right oral vestibule, in a 75-year-old Caucasian woman.
