Abstract

Ulcerative lesions of oropharyngeal mucous membranes are less commonly seen than other lesions in HIV infection and may be associated with mycotic, bacterial, and viral infection, as well as neoplasia. Differential diagnosis may be difficult because of the clinical similarity of ulcerations that can represent various causes. The term “atypical ulceration” has been suggested because it may be impossible to differentiate some of the oral ulcerations from each other. latrogenic ulceration is seen occasionally, as the consequence of chemotherapy or irradiation.

    Presence of oral ulcers in a transplant patient should initially suggest a viral infection because oral ulceration of viral origin is a frequent finding in immunocompromised patients. It has been previously shown that viral infections are especially common among immunosuppressed patients such as HIV-positive patients16-18 but can also be seen in transplantation recipients.19-21 The ulcers described in this report resemble MAU in clinical appearance and biologic behavior.
