JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2019; 120:375-377. [PMID: 31035024 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2019.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2019] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pyostomatitis vegetan (PV) is often associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). OBSERVATION Two cases of PV are reported. Case number 1 is a 66-year-old patient treated with infliximab for ulcerative colitis (UC). He presented himself with rapidly progressing crusty, whitish, ulcerated lesions on his lips. Diagnosis of PV was made after biopsy. Regression of oral lesions was favourable with local application of dermocorticoids while continuing infliximab treatment. Case number 2 is a 20-year-old patient treated with infliximab for Crohn's disease (CD). She had cheilitis and angular cheilitis. Diagnosis of PV was made after biopsy. The evolution was favourable after treating with topical dermocorticoids. DISCUSSION PV is associated in 75% of the cases with IBD. The digestive check-up is systematic. Diagnostic delay is often noted. Topical dermocorticoids are the first line of therapy.

Abstract
Metaphors have always played a role in the medical tradition and in dermatology too. Beyond their initially playful aspect, metaphors offer a way of rapidly identifying a lesion and of linking it to one or more diseases. They also play a role in the education of medical students and residents by making it easier to memorise different diseases. Herein we discuss "animal" metaphors.
