Unusual oral mucositis
A 53-year-old woman, a sales negotiator by profession, was referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases Clinic of Kuopio University Hospital for oral mucosal changes. The patient had epilepsy and allergic rhinitis. Her regular medication included carbamazepine and clonazepam, as well as occasional cetirizine, mometasone furoate, salbutamol, and budesonide. Additionally, the patient was taking vitamin B and lactic acid bacteria supplements. The patient had aspirin, environmental, and several plant food allergies.Submucosal nodule in buccal mucosa
A 65-year-old woman sought the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Porto Alegre, Brazil) for periodontal treatment. During intraoral examination, a single submucosal and well-circumscribed nodular lesion was observed in the posterior region of the right buccal mucosa. The lesion was covered with clinically normal mucosa, measuring approximately 2.5 cm in diameter (Figure 1). Upon palpation, the lesion was found to be firm and asymptomatic. As the patient was unaware of the existence of the lesion, its time course of development is unknown.
