- Abstract
Background: Psoriasis is a common cutaneous disease; however, information about psoriasis‐related oral mucosal lesions is scarce in the literature. Case Description: We report a case of a 73‐year‐old male patient with cutaneous and oral palatal alterations. An incisional biopsy of these lesions revealed psoriasis. Conclusion: The current case highlights the importance of a systematic examination of the oral cavity in psoriasis patients for the appropriate diagnosis and management on the control of these lesions.
