1/4. Geographic lip: a variant of geopgraphic tongue.The following aspects of the classic geographic tongue are discussed: clinical polymorphism with the appearance of annulus migrans, histological appearacne of the spongiform pustule, frequent association with pustular psoriasis and related diseases, and its relationship to psoriasis buccalis. Two cases of geographic lip are described in which annulus migrans was present. In one case, the geographic lip was associated with a plicated lip, a labial form of plicated tongue.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/4. Ectopic erythema migrans in an adolescent with a skin disorder.Red and white circular lesions of the buccal and labial mucosa were observed in an adolescent. Periodically, these nontender patches would resolve and move to other oral sites. Detection of ectopic erythema migrans aided in the diagnosis of a bothersome skin condition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/4. Migratory stomatitis: a case report.This case report discusses a 42-year-old male patient who presented with migratory stomatitis located on the labial and buccal mucosa and the lateral tongue border. The lesions were circumscribed, flat, smooth, and red in color with a slightly raised white border varying in size from 3 mm to over 1 cm. Duration was between 7 and 14 days and healing transpired without scarring. Follow-up continued for approximately 1 year and at each visit several lesions were seen. The possibility of stress and heredity as positive factors was considered, but with so few reported cases conclusions would be purely speculative. The absence of dermatologic pathology does not aid in establishing a relationship with psoriasis, however there is a microscopic similarity. An almost total lack of clinical symptoms may contribute to this sparse documentation, therefore dental practitioners should be articularly observant when examining oral soft tissues. Further recognition and investigation is necessary before a cause can be discovered.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/4. erythema migrans: an unusual presentation.A case of erythema migrans affecting the attached gingivae and the upper and lower labial mucosa is described. No lesions were found on the tongue although this is the site most commonly affected.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
