Psoriasis is a genetically determined, inflammatory disease of the skin. It can occur at any age but, usually develops during young adult life and may persist throughout a person’s lifetime with periods of exacerbations and remissions. It was earlier thought that oral psoriasis does not exist, however it is now believed that oral lesions of psoriasis do exist although the incidence is very low. Herein we report two cases of psoriasis with oral manifestations and one case of TMJ psoriatic arthritis.

Abstract


Psoriasis is a genetically determined, inflammatory disease of the skin. It can occur at any age but, usually develops during young adult life and may persist throughout a person’s lifetime with periods of exacerbations and remissions. It was earlier thought that oral psoriasis does not exist, however it is now believed that oral lesions of psoriasis do exist although the incidence is very low. Herein we report two cases of psoriasis with oral manifestations and one case of TMJ psoriatic arthritis.
