Abstract
Morgellons disease is a psycho-dermatologic condition in which patients report fibers or filaments “growing” out of their skin. This case report highlights an oral ulceration in a young woman associated with Morgellons disease, a condition that has not been previously described in the dental literature. An increasing number of individuals are self-reporting this condition and oral health care providers must be familiar with this disorder.
