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.
