Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is an uncommon clinicopathological condition describing patients who have oral lesions characterized by persistent labial enlargement, oral ulcers and a variety of other orofacial features. Sarcoidosis is a systemic non-caseating granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology that may affect multiple organ systems. As a systemic disease, it is well documented in existing literature. However, the rarity and its often non-specific oral manifestation emphasize the need to reinforce the literature with more clinical case examples and draw additional attention to clinical features that general practitioners may encounter. In this report, a rare case is presented with definite association of sarcoidosis and orofacial granulomatosis with two years follow up after treatment. This report aims to expand the literature surrounding orofacial sarcoidosis and support oral and general health practitioners in recognizing its orofacial manifestations along with the clinical presentations that all led to a diagnosis of sarcoidosis in this case.
