Oral Manifestations

Introduction: Oral manifestations of cytomegalovirus are rare. Observation: We report the case of an atypical and persistent oral location of cytomegalovirus, in the form of ulcers, in a patient suffering from granulomatosis with polyangiitis and treated by rituximab. Discussion: In front of a chronic ulcer, a differential diagnosis must be made to exclude different etiologies, by order of severity, frequency or according to the clinical situation of the patient. The main differential diagnosis that must be excluded is a squamous-cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Cytomegalovirus ulcers are not specific and its etiology cannot be affirmed clinically. A pathological examination is essential to allow the quick establishing of a treatment in an immuno-compromised patient to prevent further complications.

KM Singleton, SF Morris, a Freiberg. Keratoacanthoma in the immunocompromised patient - Surgical concerns. Can J Plast Surg 1994;2(3): 108-112. It is well known that clinical and histological differentiation between keratoacanthoma and squamous cell carcinoma is often difficult. The two lesions share many common features, but have very different outcomes. Both occur with increased frequency in immunosuppressed patients. This report documents two cases of histologically confirmed keratoacanthoma in immunosuppressed patients. These lesions were excised but had frequent recurrences and in both cases underwent histologically proven malignant transformation. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the potentially aggressive nature of keratoacanthomas in the immunocompromised patient.
