Pediatric Wegener's granulomatosis with oral ulcers and progressive periodontitis: a case report
چکیده انگلیسی
Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare multisystem disorder. Although it can occur at any age, it is rarely observed in children. Oral manifestations, which are present in fewer than 10% of patients, include oral ulceration, nonhealing extraction sockets, and the most common oral lesion, hyperplastic gingivitis, which is known as “strawberry gingivitis.” We report the unusual case of a 6-year-old boy with WG who presented with atypical oral manifestations, including severe progressive periodontitis accompanied by oral ulcers, before the development of systemic symptoms. Although WG is rare, this case emphasizes the importance of considering the diagnosis in those who present with progressive and atypical oral disease, as prompt treatment of the systemic illness can significantly improve outcome.
