| − | This is a complex of diseases affecting skin and [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]] mainly of cat, which include:
| |
| − | #Oral eosinophilic granuloma
| |
| − | #[[Linear granuloma]] of skin
| |
| − | #[[Eosinophilic plaque]] of skin

| − | ====Clinical====
| |
| − | *Any age, but usually young adults.
| |
| − | *Mainly affects [[Lips - Anatomy & Physiology|lips]], may also occasionally affect '''frenulum of [[Oral Cavity - Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]]'''.
| |
| − | *Sometimes called "rodent ulcer "
| |
| − | *Not neoplastic - it is an inflammatory disease but is '''progressive and destructive'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *May see small plaque or becomes very '''infiltrative'''.
| |
| − | *In worst cases may erode away whole nose.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Pathogenesis====
| |
| − | *Histologically lots of eosinophils, polymorphs.
| |
| − | *Exaggerated eosinophilic response.
