Overview

Stomatitis should be differentiated from various subtypes of stomatitis and from many other disease that can involve the oral cavity such as agranulocystosis, Behcet's disease, immunodeficiency and tutors of the oral cavity like leukoplakia etc.[1][2]

Differential diagnosis

Stomatitis must be differentiated from its different kinds and from various other disease that can mimic stomatitis or have accompanying features involving other organs. Stomatitis should be differentiated from other disease as well as from possible underlying conditions causing stomatitis including:[1][2]

Disease Presentation Risk Factors Diagnosis Affected Organ Systems Important features Picture
Diseases predominantly affecting the oral cavity
Squamous cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma
Leukoplakia
  • White leathery spots on the mucous membranes of the tongue and inside of the mouth
  • Lateral borders of tongue
  • Vulvar lesions occur independent of oral lesions
Leukoplakia
Melanoma Oral melanoma
Fordyce spots Fordyce spots
Burning mouth syndrome
Torus palatinus
  • Physical exam
  • Types
    • Flat tori
    • Spindle tori
    • Nodular tori
    • Lobular tori
Torus palatinus
Diseases involving oral cavity and other organ systems
Behcet's disease Behcet's disease
Crohn's disease
Agranulocytosis
Syphilis[11] oral syphilis
Coxsackie virus
  • Symptomatic treatment
Hand-foot-and-mouth disease
Chicken pox Chickenpox
Measles Koplick spots (Measles)
