Abstract

Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a benign reactive inflammatory reaction of the epithelial cells to various conditions. It is a diagnostic dilemma which simulates malignancy, especially squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Many articles of PEH involving the oral mucosa are available on the internet, but ocular involvement is infrequent. The ocular lesion in our case resembled SCC but turned out to be PEH. We report a rare case of PEH in a 20-year-old male.
