Abstract

Oral ulcerations in children and adolescents is a common occurrence and affects about 20-30% of this population. This case report describes a unique and serious autoimmune condition that presented with distinct oral findings that significantly supported the differential diagnosis of Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a 15 year-old female. Pediatric and general dentists should familiarize themselves with the condition to facilitate diagnosis with collaborative efforts with the medical team.
