Pyostomatitis vegetans is a disease of the gingiva and the oral mucosa with noticeable, uncommon morphology. Clinical characteristics of this rare disease and considerations regarding differential diagnosis are described. Pyostomatitis vegetans is frequently associated with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases and can, thus, give a diagnostic hint at an existing ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease. A therapy plan for pyostomatitis vegetans is presented, which led to remission using local treatment only. The follow-up examination after one year showed that the treatment outcome had remained stable. An unexpected clinical appearance of the gingiva with small, pale pink thickenings after therapy and at follow-up is portrayed.

Article Synopsis
- Pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans (PPV) is a rare disease indicated by pustules that often signals inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with oral manifestations known as pyostomatitis vegetans (PSV).
- A study analyzed various cases of PSV from literature to identify key diagnostic features, including specific appearances of oral lesions and their relation to IBD.
- The research found 77 PSV cases with helpful diagnosis indicators but noted the lack of a standardized treatment approach, which typically involves multiple medications like corticosteroids and immunosuppressives, and highlighted a high risk of oral lesion recurrence upon dosage changes.
