RESUMO
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a group of unexplainable abnormal proliferation and aggregation of Langerhans cell. LCH can be classified into four clinical variants: Letterer-Siwe disease, Hand-Schüller-Christian disease, eosinophilic granuloma, and congenital self-healing LCH. LCH is most prevalent in children. Lesions can be localized in a single system or multiple organs, and clinical manifestations vary depending on the affected organs. The skin and mucocutaneous tissues are the starting point of the affected tissue. This study presents a LCH case characterized by transient self-healing. This case can further provide references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of LCH.

Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous series of diseases associated with extracellular amyloid protein depositions, which can involve multiple organs and tissues, leading to tissue structure alterations and organ dysfunction. The tongue is the most frequently involved site of oral amyloidosis, and one of its characteristic clinical presentations is macroglossia. Here, we report 3 extremely rare cases of amyloidosis exclusively appearing as multiple blood blisters, petechiae, and ecchymoses of the oral mucosa, in the absence of common clinical manifestations of oral and systemic amyloidosis. In a word, we highlight the possibility of oral mucosal hemorrhagic lesions as the initial clinical signs of systemic amyloidosis and the significance of the early and timely diagnosis of amyloidosis.

Pyostomatitis vegetans (PSV) is a rare disease characterized by pustules. The typical manifestations are "snail-track" lesions, which widely involve multiple parts of the oral mucosa. It is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease. This paper reports a case of a patients with PSV and unilateral circumscribed swelling. Ulcerative colitis was revealed by oral lesions. The clinical manifestations as well as histopathological and immunopathological features of PSV were analyzed and summarized to provide ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
