title: Oral ulceration mimicking midline (nonhealing) granuloma.
abstract: Destructive facial or oropharyngeal lesions, or both, require aggressive diagnostic inquiry. Early differentiation of clinically similar lesions is vitally important but often difficult. Both cases presented in this report were initially diagnosed as having midline (nonhealing) granuloma. Further diagnostic efforts were required to establish a definitive diagnosis.
