Oral manifestation of crohn disease - a case report

A 29-year-old male patient was referred to a specialized service with gingival lesions that lasted 10 years. The medical history showed untreated Crohn disease. Intraoral examination detected firm nodules at the vestibular retromolar region of the right and left mandibular molar, red in color, recovered by ulcerated mucosa, and both measuring 2 cm. The buccal mucosa revealed a swollen, cobllestone appearance and showed deep linear ulcerations. Incisional biopsy was performed, and histopathologic analysis showed a connective tissue with intense chronic inflammatory infiltrate and neutrophils, blood vessel neoformation, and epithelioid cells.
