Durba Roychowdhury, Rudra Prasad Chatterjee, Swagata Gayen, Sanjeet Das, Arunit Chatterjee, Sudeshna Bagchi, Mousumi Pal, Rhitam Ghosal, Anwesha Paul, Shreya Batabyal
TL;DR
This paper discusses the diagnostic challenges of oral granulomatous disorders, which are rare but complex inflammatory conditions affecting the mouth.
Contribution
The paper provides clinicopathological diagnostic criteria to guide the treatment and management of oral granulomatous disorders.
Findings
Oral granulomatous disorders are rare and can be caused by a variety of infectious and non-infectious factors.
Diagnosis is challenging due to the non-specific appearance of lesions and diverse potential causes.
Granuloma formation involves immune responses and can lead to fibrosis through various biological mechanisms.
Abstract
Granulomatous inflammation represents a unique pattern of chronic inflammation observed in a restricted form of infectious and certain non-infectious diseases. The formation of granulomas typically involves immune responses. Granulomatous disorders encompass a broad spectrum of conditions that share the common histological feature of granuloma formation. Their involvement in the oral soft and hard tissues is quite infrequent; however, their manifestation can pose a diagnostic challenge due to the diverse range of potential causes and the relatively non-specific appearance of the individual lesions. The ultimate outcome of a complex entails the formation of a granuloma, resulting from the interplay among an invading pathogen or antigen, chemical substance, medication, or other irritant, persistent presence of antigens in the bloodstream, activation of macrophages, initiation of Th1 cell…
