Geographic stomatitis: an oral manifestation of psoriasis?

[摘要] Geographic stomatitis is an uncommon oral lesion that presents similar clinical, histopathological and genetic features as those of psoriasis. These findings suggest that this lesion may actually represent an oral manifestation of psoriasis. We report one case of geographic stomatitis and discuss a possible connection between this condition and psoriasis.
