Oral Erythema Multiforme: Report of Two Cases
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Erythema multiforme (EM) is an acute, self-limited, widespread cutaneomucous disorder. Basically, we distinguish two variety of EM that depend on the severity of the lesions: minor EM and major EM. However, some clinicians consider that oral EM is a separate entity which involve only the oral and labial mucosa without typical skin target lesions. The absence of skin lesions may lead to misdiagnose EM with other inflammatory conditions that involve oral cavity. Thus, it is important to recognize this entity for early diagnosis and proper management.The aim of our paper is to present two cases of oral EM and to emphasize on the importance of distinguishing this particular entity.
