Solitary Recurrent Major Aphthous Ulcer of the Lower Labial Mucosa: A Clinically Oriented Case Report
Abstract: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a frequently encountered oral mucosal disorder marked by episodic ulcer formation and associated discomfort. This report presents a case of a 26-year-old male who reported with a painful ulcer on the lower labial mucosa and a prior history of similar recurring lesions over the past 1?1.5 years. The current ulcer measured approximately 1.5 cm, exhibiting a well-defined erythematous margin and a fibrinous base, accompanied by a burning sensation during food intake. The patient?s medical and dental history was non-contributory, and no associated systemic or dermatological manifestations were observed. Based on clinical findings and history, a diagnosis of major recurrent aphthous stomatitis was established. The management approach included topical medication and oral prophylaxis, resulting in satisfactory healing on follow-up. This case underscores the importance of careful history taking and clinical examination in diagnosing recurrent oral ulcers, as well as the effectiveness of conservative symptomatic management in such cases.
