Abstract
An atypical oral presentation of herpes simplex virus infection in a 4 9-year-old woman after orthotopic liver transplantation is reported. C linically, the differential diagnosis included chronic hyperplastic ca ndidiasis, nodular leukoplakia of undetermined etiology, and malignant neoplasm. An excisional biopsy revealed herpesvirus infection, and im munoperoxidase staining confirmed herpes simplex virus infection. This report describes the clinical and histologic appearance of these lesi ons and the course and treatment of the patient.
