Methods: The diagnosis was made following a gingival biopsy. Results: The patient was subsequently referred to a physician for clinical management and the condition resolved without active treatment. Conclusions: Sarcoidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of persistent swellings and ulceration of the oral mucosa. Intraoral sarcoid lesions are often the first indication of systemic involvement. It is important to make the diagnosis and monitor the condition as sarcoidosis is progressive if untreated in a small number of those affected.

Histological examination of the deciduous teeth in two cases of segmental odontomaxillary dysplas... more Histological examination of the deciduous teeth in two cases of segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia (SOMD) showed fibrous enlargement of the pulps, an irregular pulp/dentine interface displaying many pseudoinclusions and pulp stones. There were tubular defects in the coronal dentine from pulp horn to cusp tip, an irregular tubular structure to the circumpulpal dentine of the apical half, a focally deficient odontoblast layer and widespread external resorption. Together with the clinical features of unilateral maxillary enlargement, upper alveolar expansion in the distal segment, increased spacing and delayed eruption of the deciduous molars and absence of premolar teeth, these histological appearances allow distinction of this condition from fibrous dysplasia (FD), segmental hemifacial hypertrophy (SHH) and regional odontodysplasia (ROD).
