Oral mucosa and cutaneous manifestations of psoriasis in an older patient: A case report.

BACKGROUND

Psoriasis is a common cutaneous disease; however, information about psoriasis-related oral mucosal lesions is scarce in the literature.

CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a case of a 73-year-old male patient with cutaneous and oral palatal alterations. An incisional biopsy of these lesions revealed psoriasis.

CONCLUSION

The current case highlights the importance of a systematic examination of the oral cavity in psoriasis patients for the appropriate diagnosis and management on the control of these lesions.
