Pyostomatitis vegetans (PV) is a rare, chronic mucocutaneous disorder associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Oral lesions of PV are distinct and present as multiple white or yellow pustules with an erythematous base that coalesce and undergo necrosis to form a typical "snail tracks" appearance. Two cases of PV associated with IBD--one with Crohn's disease (CD) and the other with ulce...

Diagnosis of the disease by dentists and other clinicians through the evaluation of oral clinical findings is a rare incident. Mucocutaneous and granulomatous lesions of the oral cavity alert the clinician to investigate the gastrointestinal tract. This review highlights oral manifestations of gastrointestinal disorders, how various diseases and their presentations are integrated and intertwine...

oids (5, 6). In our patient the titre of circulating anti-ICS antibodies was low, which might indicate a prolonged initial phase of PV before generalized development of bullae. The massive plasma cell in®ltrate seen in the lesional upper dermis may be a factor for the localization of the lesions. Another possibility is that an unknown mechanism prevents the generalization of PV, resulting in th...

Blastomycosis-like pyoderma is a rare, vegetating skin lesion that is an unusual exaggerated tissue reaction possibly to prolonged primary or secondary bacterial infection. We report a case of blastomycosis-like pyoderma in a man with Down syndrome, diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism who responsed poorly to conventional therapies, including antibiotics and correction of predisposing factors f...
