LAREZ, Leira. Los Gránulos de Fordyce: Reporte de un Caso. Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2007, vol.45, n.1, pp.96-99. ISSN 0001-6365.

The clinical case of a 67 year old patient is presented. He suffers from multiple papule injuries, rounded, of yellowish color, located in the mucous of both cheeks (at the height of the superior molars and close to the Stenon excretory way of the parotid gland) and at heart of both lobbies of the jaw. These injuries were diagnosed as Fordyce Grains. Likewise, in this study and based on the literature, the clinical and histological details of these injuries are described in detail, in order to guide dentists in their diagnosis and so they do not confuse them with real pathologies.

Keywords : Fordyce Grains; buccal mucous; ectopic sebaceous glands; choristoma.
