Pyostomatitis vegetans is a rare and unusual disorder of the oral cavity, characterized by erythema and edema of the mucosa and numerous small, superficial yellow pustules. Its significance lies in its association with inflammatory disease of the bowel, either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. We report here a patient with pyostomatitis vegetans who, upon medical workup, was discovered to have asymptomatic Crohn's disease. The clinical features, histopathology, and treatment of pyostomatitis vegetans, and its purported relationship to pemphigus vegetans of Neumann are discussed.

Review
Oral mucositis is a significant toxicity of systemic chemotherapy and of radiation therapy to the head and neck region. The morbidity of oral mucositis can include pain, nutritional compromise, impact on quality of life, alteration in cancer therapy, risk for infection, and economic costs. Management includes general symptomatic support and targeted therapeutic interventions for the prevention or treatment of oral mucositis. Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines are available to guide clinicians in the selection of effective management strategies.

Melatonin exerts various physiological effects through melatonin receptors and their ability to scavenge free radicals. Radiotherapy is a common treatment for head and neck tumors, but stomatitis, a side effect affecting irradiated oral mucosa, can impact treatment outcomes. This study investigated the preventive effect of melatonin, a potent free radical scavenger, on radiation-induced oral mucositis. Mice were irradiated with 15 Gy of X-ray radiation to the head and neck, and the oral mucosa was histologically compared between a melatonin-administered group and a control group. The results showed that radiation-induced oral mucositis was suppressed in mice administered melatonin before and after irradiation. It was suggested that the mechanism involved the inhibition of apoptosis and the inhibition of DNA damage. From these findings, we confirmed that melatonin has a protective effect against radiation-induced oral mucositis
