The prevalence of oral ulcers in children is reported to be 9%, however diagnosis of oral lesions can be challenging, being an unspecific symptom of several diseases. Differential diagnosis can range from classic infectious disease of childhood (e.g. herpangina, hand-foot-and-mouth-disease) over nutritional deficiencies, gastrointestinal disorders, inflammations (e.g. pemphigus vulgaris, lichen planus, mucous membrane pemphigoid) to side effects of medications (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome) or chronic dieseases (e.g. sarcoidosis, systemic Lupus erythematodes, familial Mediterrenean fever). Therefore, children with oral ulcers are treated by many different specialists such as dentists, family doctors, paediatricians, rheumatologists, haematologists, gastroenterologists and otorhinolaryngologists.A systematic literature search and a narrative literature review about the potential 48 diseases connected to oral ulcers were performed. According to the duration of symptoms and size of the lesions, a tabular overview was created to support the clinician in making a correct diagnosis, additionally different treatment options are presented.

“…Ulcerative lesions are encountered in laryngeal disease, but although many ulcers have similar clinical appearances, their etiologies can vary from reactive to neoplastic. Although many studies have reported that fungal disease can cause oral ulcers, there have been few reports of oral ulcers associated with Candida, 17 while instead no manuscript of laryngeal ulcers associated with Candida secondary to steroid intake has been published before our documentation. The underlying mechanism of drug-induced ulceration is often unclear, and histopathological examination usually reveals nonspecific ulcer formation with marked infiltration as inflammatory cells.…”

Laryngeal Candidiasis Mimicking Supraglottic Carcinoma by Prolonged Inhaled Steroid Therapy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Candidiasis is a rare entity reported as an isolated and primary laryngeal disease. In this condition, inhaled steroids were the single most common predisposing factor. Also mycotic infections of larynx are frequently seen in patients with immune insufficiency, although they have also been reported in individual with normal immune status. We report a case of isolated laryngeal Candidiasis in an immunocompetent individual, with an unusual presentation with exophytic lesion, edema, ulceration, white plaque, and pseudomembranous formation mimicking supraglottic carcinoma, to highlight the clinical of this condition and provide a review of the literature.

Mucosal ulcerations are an oral complication that can often affect kidney transplant patients, mostly due to the effect of immunosuppression. It has been frequently reported drug-induced ulceration or lymphoproliferative disorders with buccal manifestations however, some unusual disorders should also be considered, such as fungal infections, viruses, as well as opportunistic infection by other microorganisms. Determining the etiology and differential diagnose from other causes of mouth ulcers is very important for the adequate treatment of said lesion. Dental health of patients should also be taken into the account prior to the transplant surgery, since periodontal pockets are the main niche of microbial reservoir. Moreover, mixed with oral microbiota, parasites such as Trichomonas spp. can be found in the dental plaque of patients with periodontal disease. Particularly, Trichomonas spp. are anaerobic motile-flagellated protozoa that can both induce tissue damage and exacerbate preexistent injuries in vaginal and oral mucosa. Parasitic infection in the oral cavity has not been well studied and it is thought to be underreported. In the present study we report the first case in literature of presence of Trichomonas spp. as a potential etiological factor of the oral ulcerations of a kidney transplanted patient that remitted after antibiotic treatment. Key words: Immunosuppression, protozoan, buccal lesion, oral mucosa, kidney transplant.
