Orofacial Manifestations ofSystemic Diseases: An Overview
Philip Atkin
Oral Medicine, School of Dentistry, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom
21.1 Introduction: Historical Background
As long ago as the 5th century BCE in ancient Greece, Hippocrates and his school noted a systemic disease with oral manifestations(1). They described a condition with ulcers in the mouth, genital ulcers, skin rashes and inflammation of the eyes, among other anatomical sites. This condition was later described by Behcet, for whom the syndrome is now named(2).
Cheraskin (3) from the Journal of the National Medical Association, in his paper ‘Oral
Manifestations of Systemic Disease’, claimed:
‘…approximately 200 systemic disorders are accompanied by oral symptoms and signs. Inmany instances, the oral clues are the first and sometimes even the only evidence of a disturbed state’.
In the published literature, scientific paper titles referring to ‘oral manifestations’ go back more than a hundred years, with Bloch proposing ‘A Classification of Oral Manifestations of Systemic Diseases According to Type’ (4). In 1927, there was an account of the ‘Discussion on Oral Manifestations of Systemic Disease in Children’ at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, where a patient presenting with an oral manifestation of a skin disorder was described. Mr. FN Doubleday (dental surgeon) gave an account of one of his patients presenting to the clinic(5):
‘… a woman who said that from childhood onwards, she had suffered from ulceration in her mouth, which had been attributed to congenital syphilis. She brought with her two papers showing that, at different times, her Wassermann reaction had been tested and had proved negative. (…) The dressers were reminded that the mucous membrane of the mouth was merely part of the skin invaginated to meet the upper end of the oesophagus, and it was found that she had skin lesions also. On being referred to Dr. Barber of the Dermatological Department, he sent her back with the diagnosis that the disease was lichen planus, with unusual lesions of that disease in the mouth’.

21.2 Skin Disease
In a 1945 paper from the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine entitled ‘Oral Manifestations of Certain Systemic Disorders’, there is a report of a 63- year- old man presenting to the clinic who also complained of gastrointestinal (GI) upset(6):
‘The oral mucosa showed irregular diffused areas of redness and superficial ulceration, showing here and there a whitish coating. Near the middle of the right cheek’s mucosa were two elevated ulceration patches covered with a fibrinous exudate. The physical examination was negative; gastric analysis revealed achlorhydria, and examination of the blood showed slight hypochromic anaemia.’
The authors say, ‘One is reminded here that the embryological and functional unity of the gas­trointestinal tract includes the oral cavity. Functional changes in the stomach and intestinal tract may be associated with oral lesions more often than is recognised or suspected.’
Skin and GI disease are some of the more frequent presentations of oral manifestations of sys­temic disease that present to general dental practitioners, dental and medical specialists, and so may be referred to oral medicine specialists for further diagnosis and management.
21.2 Skin Disease
21.2.1 Lichen Planus
Lichen planus (LP) is the skin disorder most often seen in the oral mucosal tissues. LP is considered a T- cell mediated reaction directed against epithelial basal cells, but the target antigen, whether endogenous or exogenous, is unknown(7). Oral lichen planus (OLP) can present in several ways: the most common are reticular, atrophic, erosive, ulcerative, plaque- like, papular and rarely, bullous. Lesions often present with multiple of these descriptors. Skin lesions are typically raised, itchy, viola­ceous polygonal papules which classically affect the anterior (ventral) surfaces of the wrists and shins but may also affect the chest, back and scalp. Genital lesions may also be present, and for females presenting with a pattern of desquamative gingivitis as part of their OLP, vulval lesions are more common. This has been proposed as a distinct form of lichen planus, vulva- vaginal- gingival syndrome (VVG)(8).
Lesions of OLP are commonly symmetrical, seen in both buccal mucosae, both lateral borders of the tongue, or both sides of the hard palate. The sites are typically symmetrical, but the presenta­tions or types (see above) may differ.
OLP has also been proposed as a manifestation of systemic viral diseases, most commonly with hepatitis C, but also with human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex, Epstein– Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV)(9, 10).
363
21.2.2 Lichenoid Reaction
Lichenoid reactions, so- called because of the similarity in appearance to OLP, can be divided into lichenoid lesions caused by contact with a material which the patient is sensitive to or to a drug that the patients take for some other condition– similar in many ways to a fixed- drug eruption presenting on the skin. In the mouth, patients may show mucosal lesions where the tissue is in contact with a dental restoration, often metal. Similarly, they will have reactions on the skin to the same materials. A mucosal reaction to a gold crown may be mirrored by a skin reaction to gold jewellery. There are several families of medications which are known to

precipitate lichenoid reactions in the mouth and skin. These include antihypertensives (beta- blockers, ACE inhibitors), hypoglycaemic drugs for managing diabetes (chlorpropamide) and even familiar and readily available analgesics for managing acute and chronic pain (NSAIDs)(11).
21.2.3 Graft Versus Host Disease
Graft- versus- host disease (GVHD) occurs following a bone marrow transplant, and the newly reconstituted immune system reacts to the host tissues. GVHD can appear on the skin, in solid organs (e.g. the liver) and oral mucosal tissues. The clinical appearances can be very similar to those of OLP, and the histology also looks similar on biopsy. Except in the case of GVHD, the band of inflammatory cells, predominantly lymphocytes, found just below the basement membrane in the oral mucosa will be the grafted cells from the bone marrow transplant(12).
21.2.4 Bullous Diseases
21.2.4.1 Pemphigus
Pemphigus is a blistering disorder affecting the skin and mucosa. The binding between epithe­lial cells is weakened by an autoimmune inflammatory reaction directed at transmembrane proteins within the desmosomes, which bind cells together. Several subtypes of pemphigus include pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceous and paraneoplastic pemphigus (now called paraneoplastic autoimmune multi- organ syndrome/PAMS). Pemphigus vulgaris and paraneo­plastic pemphigus are most commonly associated with oral mucosal involvement. Fragile mucosal blisters break down to leave erosions and ulceration. Desquamative gingivitis is often seen in association with oral mucosal ulcerations. Diagnosis of the bullous diseases will often include direct and indirect immunofluorescence studies using patients’ serum and biopsy of affected tissues.
21.2.4.2 Pemphigoid
Pemphigoid is a sub- epithelial blistering disorder with an autoimmune inflammatory reaction directed towards transmembrane proteins within the hemidesmosomes binding epithelial cells to the basement membrane. Blisters in the skin and oral mucosa remain intact longer than those of pemphigus since the blister roof is composed of the whole thickness of the epithelium. As with pemphigus, there will typically be a pattern of desquamative gingivitis alongside oral mucosal ulceration. There may also be conjunctival involvement in the disease, causing damage to the eye and potentially scarring over the lens(13).
21.2.4.3 IgA Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis
IgA antibodies present at the basement membrane zone in linear IgA disease and dermatitis her­petiformis. Linear IgA disease is an autoimmune mucocutaneous disease characterised by linear deposits of IgA at the basement membrane, in contrast to IgG antibodies seen in pemphigoid. Dermatitis herpetiformis is linked to gluten intolerance, and a gluten- free diet can eliminate symp­toms. In the oral mucosa, ulcerations of affected individuals occur because of tissue fragility from the disease. Still, they may also appear because the mucosal integrity is compromised secondary to iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies due to malabsorption and small- bowel inflammation from the gluten enteropathy(14).
t.me/Dr_Mouayyad_AlbtousH
21.3 Gastrointestinal Disease
21.2.4.4 Other Blistering Disorders
Less common bullous diseases affecting the skin and oral tissues include epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and erythema multiforme (EM). Epidermolysis bullosa is a collection of rare congenital dermatoses affecting the skin and mucosae. The tissues are extremely fragile, and even very minor trauma can produce blistering. The severity of the disease can range from mild to fatal(15). Erythema multi­forme affects the oral mucosa, causing sometimes extensive oral mucosal blistering, ulceration and sloughing, often also including the vermillion of the lips. Erythematous, circular skin lesions also appear, known as target lesions. The skin also suffers from blistering and ulceration. The presenta­tion of EM is similar to that of Stevens– Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermolysis, and they were previously thought to be the same disease but with a spectrum of severity. They are recognised now as separate conditions with an overlap in aetiology but differences in management. The most com­mon trigger for EM is an infectious cause, typically herpes simplex virus (HSV) or a bacterium (Mycoplasma pneumoniae). Other triggers include common medications such as non- steroidal anti- inflammatory analgesics (NSAIDs) and antibiotics, and there are also links to systemic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and Behcet’s disease(16).
21.2.5 Psoriasis
Psoriasis affecting the skin has several well- recognised and recognisable presentations. Psoriatic patches comprise dry, raised, thickened skin with a silvery white scale on the surface. It typically presents on the extensor surfaces of knees and elbows, as well as the trunk and scalp. Whether there are lesions that could be considered ‘oral psoriasis’ has been the subject of ongoing debate for many years. It is said that geographic tongue and fissured tongue are more common in patients with known psoriasis, but the converse is not always the case(17, 18).
365
21.2.6 Acanthosis Nigricans
Acanthosis nigricans is a rare condition affecting the skin, with the development of velvety black lesions which may affect the flexor surfaces of joints, posterior neck folds and the axillae. In the oral cavity, there may be extensive mucosal papillomatous lesions. There is a benign form of acan­thosis nigricans, but more importantly, it can be associated with internal malignancies such as squamous carcinoma of the cervix and lung, adenocarcinomas in the GI tract, breast and gonads(17, 19).
21.3 Gastrointestinal Disease
21.3.1 Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease which can affect any part of the GI tract, includ­ing the mouth. Crohn’s is a granulomatous disease, and on GI mucosal biopsies, granulomas can be found, helping to confirm the diagnosis. Biopsy of oral tissues is much less likely to demonstrate granulomas, but the biopsy site will act as a focus of inflammation for months and even years. Diagnosis of oral Crohn’s is typically made on the clinical presentation associated with GI signs and symptoms. In the gut, Crohn’s produces full- thickness inflammation from the mucosal lining of the gut through the submucosa, muscular layers and the covering serosal layer. In the orofacial tissues, inflammation and erythema of the skin of the face, thickening of the buccal and labial tissues, and

mucosal inflammation and ulceration mirror the full- thickness inflammation in the rest of the gut. Other oral mucosal signs of Crohn’s include round/oval aphthous ulcers (either directly as part of Crohn’s or anaemia following malabsorption and bleeding in the gut), as well as deep linear ulcers in the buccal sulci, mucosal tags, lip swelling and angular cheilitis. The attached gingival tissues may also be swollen and erythematous. There is a similar presentation in the orofacial tissues but without GI symptoms, known as orofacial granulomatosis (OFG). In children, about half progress from OFG to Crohn’s with a mean time to development of Crohn’s of around 13months(18). With OFG, in contrast to Crohn’s, some of the flares of inflammation, swelling and ulceration can be linked to exposure to foods and drinks containing cinnamon and benzoates. So, symptoms can be managed with dietary manipulation. This is not the case with Crohn’s disease(20).
21.3.2 Ulcerative Colitis andPyostomatitis Vegetans
In contrast to Crohn’s disease, which can affect any part of the GI tract, ulcerative colitis (UC) affects the colon and occasionally terminal ileum. Also, in contrast to Crohn’s, the inflammation is of the mucosal luminal lining, where fluid exudates and bleeding will occur. The most common oral manifestations of UC are due to anaemia, which follows gut lumen inflammation, typically aphthous ulceration of the oral mucosa. There is a less common oral presentation of both Crohn’s and UC, pyostomatitis vegetans, where the gingival tissues are inflamed, thickened and display small pustular eruptions composed of microabscesses in the spinous/prickle cell layer of gingival epithelium. Other oral mucosal sites may be affected(21).
21.3.3 Coeliac Disease
Gluten sensitivity is the underlying pathology in coeliac disease. Skin manifestations include vesicular eruptions on the elbows, knees and buttocks. Oral mucosal manifestations include aph­thous ulceration. Small bowel inflammation caused by the immune reaction to cereal grain pro­teins (in wheat, barley and rye) leads to poor absorption of iron, B12 and folic acid, among other nutrients, and the resulting anaemia may additionally lead to aphthous oral mucosal ulceration, on top of the ulceration directly associated with the disease(22, 23).
21.3.4 Peutz– Jeghers Syndrome andGardener Syndrome
Both Peutz– Jeghers and Gardener syndromes are associated with the formation of polyps in the GI tract, which are associated with a high risk of malignant change in patients of all ages. There is also an increased risk of extra- GI malignancies in both diseases. Peutz– Jeghers syndrome has marked peri- oral freckling of black, brown or greyish colour and oral mucosal freckling. In Gardner’s syn­drome, the main orofacial manifestation is the development of osteomas. These may be seen on rotational tomograms (more than three should raise suspicion). If they are located in important anatomical structures such as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), then movement may be restricted. Supernumerary teeth and cementomas are also a feature(24).
21.3.5 Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Eating Disorders
In GERD, there is involuntary regurgitation of the acid content of the stomach into the upper GI tract. The inflammation and irritation of the oesophagus leads to heartburn. If the acidic fluid reaches the oral cavity, it can cause typical erosion patterns on the palatal surfaces of upper

incisors and later occlusal surfaces of molar teeth. It can also cause a burning sensation and altered taste. In bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder, there is the deliberate triggering of regurgitation of stomach contents, which produces similar patterns of erosion. The frequent regurgitation of stom­ach content can also cause Sialosis (sialoadenosis)– a benign enlargement of the salivary glands with no loss of salivary function. Sialosis is also associated with diabetes, chronic alcohol misuse, kidney failure and liver cirrhosis(25).
21.4 Salivary Gland Disease
21.4.1 Sjogren’s Syndrome
Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease- causing inflammation and scarring of glandular tissue and a reduction in the secretion of saliva and tears in the relevant glands. Systemic features of Sjogren’s syndrome include fatigue, dry and itchy skin and morning joint stiffness. Patients with Sjogren’s syndrome have an increased likelihood of developing lymphoma, particularly non­Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Sjogren’s syndrome has long been divided into primary and secondary forms, where the secondary form develops after some other, typically also autoimmune, connective tissue disorderhas manifested conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma. Diagnosis is with high- resolution ultrasound, serology and labial gland biopsy(26, 27).

21.4.2 Salivary Gland Swelling
Persistent salivary gland swelling can occur as a sialosis (as above) or may be associated with infections such as mumps, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It should be noted that the most common cause of a dry mouth from reduced saliva production is a result of medications prescribed for other conditions and radiotherapy to the head and neck in managing malignancy.
21.5 Oral Mucosal Ulceration fromMineral or Vitamin Deficiency
The oral mucosa, in common with the rest of the GI tract, has a rapid cell turnover and renewal. Any deficiencies of vitamins or minerals can manifest in the oral soft tissues, often as aphthous ulcers or sensory changes (e.g. dry mouth, burning mouth).
21.5.1 Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency, typically measured using serum ferritin levels, can be associated with oral aph­thous ulceration. Iron deficiency may result from dietary insufficiency, but where the diet is ade­quate for iron content, small bowel inflammation through diseases such as Crohn’s or coeliac disease will reduce absorption. Iron levels will drop from blood loss through inflammatory diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis or malignant diseases such as GI polyps transforming into adenocarcinomas.

21.5.2 Vitamin B9 (Folate) and Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) Deficiency
B9 and B12 deficiency through dietary insufficiency or malabsorption can cause angular cheilitis, recurrent aphthous ulceration, mucosal thinning and sensitivity and sensory neurological problems of the tongue and mucosa; sensation of dryness, taste disturbance and numbness. B12 deficiency may also result from a lack of intrinsic factor secretion, partial gastrectomy or an autoimmune process– pernicious anaemia(28).
21.6 Infective Disease
21.6.1 Oral Flora
The commensal oral flora is typically a mix of bacteria and candida species. Changes in the oral environment can affect the oral flora and precipitate disease. For example, a dry mouth from drugs, diabetes or radiotherapy might encourage the development of candida, especially in protected sites such as beneath a denture. Raised blood sugar from poorly controlled diabetes may do the same. Broad- spectrum antimicrobials treating systemic infection may also leave candida unopposed fororal nutrients and cause a candidosis to develop, as may changes to the immune system in HIV/AIDS. In angular cheilitis, the cracking at the corners of the mouth, which may be secondary to low iron from dietary insufficiency, malabsorption (GI disease) or blood loss (GI ulceration/ menorrhagia), may become infected with a mixed flora from the oral cavity and skin and cause additional inflammation and crusting.
21.6.2 Viral Disease
21.6.2.1 Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
There are over 100 varieties of HPV, most of them causing various forms of warts in numerous anatomical sites, including the orofacial and head and neck regions. Mostly, they are a short- lived nuisance, but some types of HPV are associated with malignancy. There are around 14 high- risk types of HPV, but HPV16 and HPV18 are especially associated with both head and neck cancers and cervical cancers(29).
21.6.2.2 Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV- 1/HHV- 1)
Herpes simplex viruses are prevalent. HSV- 1 is typically acquired in childhood, transmitted via the saliva of an infected contact, and may present as a systemic malaise with orofacial blisters and ulcerations (primary herpetic gingivostomatitis). The virus lies dormant in the dorsal root (sen­sory) ganglion within the nerves at the site of inoculation– in the case of the orofacial tissues, this will be the trigeminal ganglion. Reactivation may occur with the presentation of ‘cold sores’ on the skin of the face or oral mucosa. Reactivation may occur in healthy individuals or when the immune system is compromised through drugs or illness. HSV- 2 is more commonly associated with sexual transmission and can affect the perineal and genital areas but may also present in the orofacial region(30).
21.6.2.3 Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV / HHV- 3)
Chickenpox is the manifestation of the primary infection with VZV. As with HSV, the virus lies dormant in the spinal column’s dorsal root (sensory) ganglion. For lesions of the face, the virus will
