Oral Candida infections may appear in many guises, especially in HIV‐infected individuals. Whereas the pseudomembranous and the erythematous forms of oral candidiasis are the most frequently encountered in such patients, there appear to be further clinical variants of this disease. This paper describes seven dentate homosexual AIDS patients who developed papillary hyperplasia of the palate which was associated with Candida infection. Such lesions, classically related to denture stomatitis, have rarely been described in dentate patients, and this report further expands the spectrum of candidal infections seen in HIV disease.
