Oral ulceration (mouth ulcers) which may be aphthous like, or be more chronic and deep with raised margins. Alternatively, lesions similar to pyostomatitis vegetans may occur in OFG, but this is uncommon. [2] "Full width" gingivitis [4] (compare with marginal gingivitis).
Eosinophilic ulcer of the tongue, [1] Riga–Fede disease, [1] Eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucosa – H&E stain Eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucosa (also known as traumatic eosinophilic granuloma [ 1 ] ) is a condition characterized by an ulcer with an indurated and elevated border. [ 2 ]
A pyogenic granuloma or lobular capillary hemangioma [3] is a vascular tumor that occurs on both mucosa and skin, and appears as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation, physical trauma, or hormonal factors. [4] [5] It is often found to involve the gums, skin, or nasal septum, and has also been found far from the head, such as in the thigh. [6]
Granuloma annulare is a skin disease of unknown cause in which granulomas are found in the dermis of the skin, but it is not a true granuloma. Typically, a central zone of necrobiotic generation of collagen is seen, with surrounding inflammation and mucin deposition on pathology.
Feline eosinophilic granuloma complex (EGC) is relatively common condition, characterized by number of patterns affecting oral cavity, skin and mucocutaneous junctions of cats. EGC can be triggered by various stimuli, however, the feline allergic disease is the most relevant one.
Peripheral giant-cell granuloma (PGCG) is an oral pathologic condition that appears in the mouth as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation or trauma. Because of its overwhelming incidence on the gingiva , the condition is associated with two other diseases , pyogenic granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma .
It is a form of granuloma. [2] Gummas are most commonly found in the liver (gumma hepatis), but can also be found in brain, heart, skin, bone, testis, and other tissues, leading to a variety of potential problems including neurological disorders or heart valve disease.
