title: Toxic exposure sign: Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
abstract: As part of the Desert Shield/Desert Storm Registry at the VA Medical Center, Allen Park, Michigan, we have evaluated more than 600 patients since 1992. More recently, we have taken notice of patients appearing with common oral findings that were repetitive and similar in appearance. Their cause is currently unknown. We present our findings. Continuous evaluations will be performed and likewise reported.
