Abstract

Granulomatous infections are chronic inflammatory disorders caused by a variety of infectious and noninfectious factors. They can be localized or a symptom of a systemic, disseminated disease. Oral signs of granulomatous inflammation, like skin indications, are frequently vague in appearance. As a result, identifying the underlying source of inflammation can be difficult in the absence of overt foreign material or a known infectious pathogen. This review aims to discuss a case report which imposed a diagnostic challenge. The etiology and histopathogenesis of commonly encountered oral granulomatous lesions are also reviewed.
