Granulomatous Diseases Affecting Oral Cavity

"Oral Health is a mirror to Systemic Health" Of late, most health care providers overwhelmingly accept the concept that oral health is intimately related to systemic health. It is a well-known fact that some systemic diseases have oral manifestations and that local oral disease may be related to an underlying systemic disorder. Recognizing that oral lesions may be the initial presenting sign during early stages of systemic disease may allow more efficient diagnosis of that underlying disorder. Under the umbrella of such systemic disorders with oral presentation is the increasingly recognized entity characterized by persistent and/or recurrent labial enlargement, oral ulcers and a variety of other oro-facial features called as "Granulomatous Lesions".
