Non-infectious granulomatous disorders of the upper lip represent a special chapter of oral and maxillofacial pathology. In this work we report a case-series of this process, to analyse its main clinicopathological features and find differential data that allow us improve its diagnosis and understand its pathogenesis.
We present 11 cases of non-infectious granulomatous disorders of the upper lip, 8 women and 3 men with an age range of 29-84 years, who have been attended at the Oral Medicine Department of the IUCT (France) and the Oral Medicine Unit of the UPV/EHU (Spain). All clinicopathological data were collected in a specific protocol.
We recognized 4 different subtypes of non-infectious granulomatous disorders of the upper lip: (1) associated with Crohn's disease (1 case), (2) associated with foreign body (2 cases), (3) associated with gingivitis lichenoid-like (4 cases), (4) idiopathic (4 cases).
Clinicopathological differences were identified between these subtypes. A good differential diagnosis is necessary in all cases to rule out the presence of local or systemic etiopathogenic factors.
上唇非传染性肉芽肿性疾病是口腔颌面病理学的一个特殊篇章。在这项工作中,我们报告了一系列此类病例,旨在分析其主要的临床病理特征,并找到有助于提高诊断和理解发病机制的鉴别数据。
我们展示了 11 例上唇非传染性肉芽肿性疾病,患者为 8 名女性和 3 名男性,年龄 29-84 岁,均在法国的 IUCT(法国)口腔医学系和 UPV/EHU(西班牙)口腔医学科就诊。所有临床病理数据均按照特定方案收集。
我们识别出 4 种不同类型的上唇非传染性肉芽肿性疾病:(1)与克罗恩病相关(1 例),(2)与异物相关(2 例),(3)与类似牙龈病损的类扁平苔藓相关(4 例),(4)特发性(4 例)。
这些亚型之间存在临床病理差异。在所有病例中,均需要进行良好的鉴别诊断,以排除局部或全身病因。
