Focal Epithelial Hyperplasia (FEH) is a benign disease characterized by the presence of multiple papules in the oral mucosa, associated with the human papilloma virus, serotypes 13 and 32, it is very common in the pediatric population, without treatment the injuries can persist for many years, implying that patients will show injuries throughout childhood and youth, generating oral and psychosocial problems such as rejection. Is reported the clinical case of a pediatric patient with FEH in which the use of 80% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is used as an alternative therapy, the acid was applied every 10 days with the complete elimination of the lesions in the tenth session. There were no complications, the patient was calm during the treatment, without anxiety or fear. The manuscript`s aim is to describe the sequence of application of the TCA and its effectiveness in the resolution of the lesions produced by the FEH.
