PERSISTENT ORAL MUCOSAL LESIONS PRECEDING DIAGNOSIS OF CROHN'S DISEASE
AND PRIMARY SCLEROSING CHOLANGITIS A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
Oral mucosal lesions may persist years before diagnosis of inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD) and subsequent primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
It may be that a dental practitioner may be the first clinician to
suspect IBD. Suspect IBD; early referral and close collaboration with a
gastroenterologist are recommended.
