Abstract

Oral eosinophilic ulcer is a rare, benign and self-limiting disease. Most cases take place between the fifth and sixth decade of life, but it may oc-cur during childhood in relation to the eruption of incisors. Its etiopatho-genesis remains unknown but some authors propose it within the lymph-oproliferative spectrum. Two clinical cases of this entity are described.
