ULCERATIVE-NECROTIC LESIONS OF THE ORAL MUCOSA WITH THE APPEARANCE OF TROPHIC ULCERS

Abstract

Oral ulcers are usually painful lesions that are associated with various conditions developing in the oral cavity. The differential diagnosis can range from a classic infectious disease on the background of nutritional deficiencies, gastrointestinal disorders, inflammation to side effects of medications or chronic dysentery diseases. A correct differential diagnosis is necessary to prescribe appropriate treatment, taking into account all possible causes of ulcers in the oral cavity. Therefore, patients with trophic ulcers of the oral cavity are treated by many different specialists, such as dentists, family doctors, pediatricians, rheumatologists, hematologists, gastroenterologists and otorhinolaryngologists. A systematic literature search and a descriptive review of the literature on potential diseases associated with trophic ulcers of the oral cavity were conducted.
