Abstract
Orofacial granulomatosis is a clinical entity of either unknown or specific causation. Specific causes include sarcoidosis, chronic infective granulomas, and Crohn's disease. The remainder of cases are idiopathic, but the clinical presentations of orofacial swellings and intraoral mucosal lesions are similar. So, too, are the histopathologic findings of noncaseating granulomas, edema, and chronic lymphoproliferative infiltrate. Crohn's disease is not responsible for all forms of orofacial granulomatosis, but the orofacial manifestations of the disease may herald its diagnosis.
