Chronic ulcerative stomatitis: a case report

A 55-year-old Caucasian male patient with difficulty eating due to painful intra-oral ulcers for approximately 2 weeks was seen at the clinic. In the anamnesis he reported hepatitis C (genotype 3 A) with sustained virologic response for 20 years, rheumatoid arthritis for 5 years, thrombocytopenia for 2 years, and hyperuricemia. On physical examination, alopecia and brittle, scaly, and dystrophic nails were observed. The intra-oral examination revealed the presence of multiple erosive and ulcerated lesions, surrounded by white hyperkeratotic striate resembling those of erosive oral lichen planus.
