【 摘 要 】

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory genodermatosis characterized by erythemato-squamous lesions. In literature, fewcases of psoriasis affecting oral mucous membranes are reported.Materials and methods: a case of a 72-years-old woman with persistent burning symptoms on the dorsum of the tongue with anerythematous squamous area was reported. An oropharyngeal swab and a scalpel incisional biopsy were performed.Results: Histopathological examination described the presence of hyperparakeratosis, acanthosis, papillomatosis and Munromicroabscesses. Clinical and histopathological findings are compatible with a diagnosis of oral psoriasis.Conclusions: Psoriasis lesion rarely affects oral mucosa. When it occurs, it is important a cooperation between oral pathologist anddermatologist.
