Article Synopsis
- Ulcerated lesions in the oral cavity can arise from various causes, including infections, immune issues, trauma, and cancer.
- A thorough patient history is essential to identify triggers, assess lesion duration, pain, and any related systemic symptoms, particularly when lesions are recurrent or multiple.
- Biopsies are often necessary to differentiate between benign and potentially cancerous lesions, especially since neoplastic ulcers can resemble harmless ones, and additional tests may be needed to rule out autoimmune conditions or systemic diseases.
