    Generalized sarcoidosis can present as granulomatous gingival hyperplasia, a rare oral manifestation. Treatment with oral prednisolone effectively resolved both the gum lesions and proteinuria in this case.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Medicine
    • Dermatology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Generalized sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease.
    • Oral manifestations of sarcoidosis are uncommon.
    • Granulomatous gingival hyperplasia can mimic other oral conditions.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with granulomatous gingival hyperplasia as the initial sign of generalized sarcoidosis.
    • Histological examination of the gingival lesion was indistinguishable from Crohn's disease.
    • The clinical presentation differed significantly from typical oral Crohn's disease.

    Findings:

    • Oral prednisolone treatment led to the resolution of gingival lesions.
    • Systemic treatment also resolved proteinuria, indicating renal involvement in sarcoidosis.

  • This case highlights a unique presentation of sarcoidosis.

    • Implications:

    • Granulomatous gingival hyperplasia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions, especially in the context of systemic disease.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment of sarcoidosis can prevent complications.
    • Further research is needed to understand the specific oral manifestations of sarcoidosis and their distinction from other granulomatous diseases.
