Pyostomatitis Vegetans in a pediatric patient with ulcerative colitis case report of a rare pediatric inflammatory bowel disease extraintestinal manifestation and review of the literature
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2020Co-Authors: Giulia Bardasi, Andrea Romagnoli, Maria Pia Foschini, Alessio Mantovani, Patrizia AlvisiAbstract:Inflammatory bowel diseases can occur with a wide range of extraintestinal symptoms, among which Pyostomatitis Vegetans, that is a rare but almost pathognomonic finding. We report the case of a 9-year-old female patient affected by ulcerative colitis and recently treated for an oral candidiasis, who experienced a relapse in her ulcerative colitis (PUCAI 50), preceded by the return of whitish lesions in the oral cavity, initially misdiagnosed and unsuccessfully treated as candidiasis and then recognized as Pyostomatitis Vegetans. Bloody diarrhea was treated with oral beclomethasone, with rapid remission of ulcerative colitis and disappearance of Pyostomatitis Vegetans. After 2 years, ulcerative colitis is in sustained remission with oral mesalamine and Pyostomatitis Vegetans has not recurred. Pyostomatitis Vegetans is considered a marker of ulcerative colitis relapse among adult population, and although very few pediatric cases are described, it is very important to remember it in the differential diagnosis of the oral manifestations and comorbidities of inflammatory bowel diseases.

pyodermatitis Pyostomatitis Vegetans a specific marker for inflammatory bowel disease
Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 1994Co-Authors: Gregory S Storwick, Marie Prihoda, Ronald J Fulton, William S WoodAbstract:In pyodermatitis-Pyostomatitis Vegetans annular pustular cutaneous lesions may precede, accompany, or follow the usually extensive vegetating oral disease. Sometimes only cutaneous or only oral lesions occur and previously have been described as separate entities. Clinical, histopathologic, and immunopathologic evidence clearly indicates this is one disease and suggests that it is distinct from pemphigus Vegetans. The association between pyodermatitisPyostomatitis Vegetans and inflammatory bowel disease, most commonly ulcerative colitis, has been amply confirmed, Pyodermatitis-Pyostomatitis Vegetans should be considered a marker for inflammatory bowel disease.

Pyostomatitis Vegetans an oral manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2015Co-Authors: Julia Yu Fong Chang, Hsinming Chen, Yi Ping WangAbstract:Pyostomatitis Vegetans (PV) is a rare kind of stomatitis that shares similar features of pemphigus and pyodermatitis Vegetans. Although the pathogenesis of PV remains unknown, it is now regarded as an uncommon oral manifestation of inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. A 33-year-old Caucasian woman came to our dental clinic for evaluation of multiple white oral lesions of 1 month’s duration. She had a medical history of ulcerative colitis and anemia for 8 years and was under regular follow-up at the internal medicine department of our hospital. She received multiple drugs including predonine (1 tablet per day, 5 mg/tablet), pentasa SR (3 tablets per day, 500 mg/tablet), plaquenil (1 tablet twice per day, 200 mg/tablet), colchicine (1 tablet per day, 0.5 mg/ tablet), and colace enema (1 mL per day, 20 mg/mL). Intraoral examination revealed multiple curvilinear pustules over the soft palate, anterior gingiva, retromolar pad, and buccal mucosa (Figure 1A). These lesions were

oral manifestation in inflammatory bowel disease a review
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2013Co-Authors: Kamran Bagheri Lankarani, Gholam Reza Sivandzadeh, Shima HassanpourAbstract:Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis, not only affect the intestinal tract but also have an extraintestinal involvement within the oral cavity. These oral manifestations may assist in the diagnosis and the monitoring of disease activity, whilst ignoring them may lead to an inaccurate diagnosis and useless and expensive workups. Indurated tag-like lesions, cobblestoning, and mucogingivitis are the most common specific oral findings encountered in CD cases. Aphthous stomatitis and Pyostomatitis Vegetans are among non-specific oral manifestations of IBD. In differential diagnosis, side effects of drugs, infections, nutritional deficiencies, and other inflammatory conditions should also be considered. Treatment usually involves managing the underlying intestinal disease. In severe cases with local symptoms, topical and/or systemic steroids and immunosuppressive drugs might be used.
