Two cases with exuberant papillary and nodular hyperplasia of the hard and soft palates are described. Both were elderly edentulous men with bilateral angular stomatitis. The papillary hyperplasia extended as far as the epiglottis and was associated with swelling and fissuring of the upper lip in patient 1. In patient 2, the palatal change extended to the maxillary gingiva and was associated with smooth plaques and fissuring of the dorsal tongue. Histology of both cases showed a dense polyclonal plasma-cell infiltrate with overlying epithelial hyperplasia, parakeratinization and neutrophil micro-abscesses suggesting Candida infection but fungal elements could not be demonstrated. Patient 1 also showed defective cellular immunity to Candida antigen which was reversed by treatment with ketoconazole and levamisole, antedating clinical improvement.
