Early oral presentation of Crohn's disease.
Inflammatory changes of the oral mucosa in children can have a variety of infectious and non-infectious etiologies. We report on a 10-year-old boy with progressive cobblestone-like changes and erosions of oral mucosa over six months, which turned out to be early oral manifestations of Crohn disease.
