Abstract
A case of orofacial granulomatosis with buccal mucosal lesion is reported. The patient was a 44-year-old Japanese male who presented with a nodular lesion in the buccal mucosa. Pathology of the resected specimen showed a non-caseating granuloma suggesting Crohn's disease or sarcoidosis. Systemic and biochemical examination showed no evidence of Crohn's disease or sarcoidosis. Finally, based on clinical features and pathological findings, we diagnosed the patient as having orofacial granulomatosis.
