Abstract
Pyostomatitis vegetans is a rare condition characterized by pustules t hat affect the oral mucosa. It is consistently associated with inflamm atory bowel disease and is usually resistant to treatment. We present the case of a 65-year-old white man with pyostomatitis vegetans that w as associated with ulcerative colitis and adenocarcinoma of the colon. Fluocinonide gel resulted in a complete. but temporary clearance of t he lesions. Complete remission was achieved immediately after a total colectomy.
