Abstract
Oral contact stomatitis is an oral mucosa inflammatory reaction induced by contact with an irritant or allergen. A 27-year-old male patient was referred, complaining of a lip lesion, with 7 days of evolution. Upon anamnesis, the patient reported accidental contact with an electronic cigarette's (e-cigarette's) essence, followed by the development of the lesion a few hours later. He described a burning sensation, itching, and vesicles in the site. Clinical examination revealed vesicles and ulceration in the lower lip with a slightly yellowish color. Clinical diagnostic hypotheses included contact stomatitis, oral burning, and granulomatous cheilitis. Treatment with topical chamomile (Ad-Muc®), three times a day for seven days, was performed. After 10 days of follow-up, no lesion and symptoms were observed. The use of e-cigarettes is on the rise; therefore, the injuries that come with them are of considerable interest, including the accidents that lead to inflammatory reactions.
