Successful treatment of oral Crohn's disease by anti-TNF-alpha dose escalation - a case report.

Background: Crohn's Disease (CD) is typically characterized by abdominal symptoms, however, besides gastrointestinal symptoms, CD patients may suffer from extraintestinal manifestations which are far less common and medical treatment can be challenging.

Case Presentation: We report about a 34-year-old Crohn's Disease (CD) patient in clinical remission under adalimumab therapy who presented in the clinic for Cranio-Maxillo Surgery due to severe pain in the mandibular area. Ulcerative lesions of the buccal-side mucosa of the right mandible were detected.
