RESUMO
We present 2 cases of severe erosive stomatitis. The first case involves the rare association of an extensive, erosive lichen planus with a Castleman's tumor. The second case involves the association of lichen planus pemphigoides with severe, obstructive lung disease (bronchiolitis obliterans). We believe that in both cases the conjunction of these conditions is not fortuitous but perhaps due to an underlying immune dysfunction. With patients presenting a severe, therapy-resistant, erosive stomatitis, one should be alerted to the possibility of immunological diseases and/or tumors.

Atopic dermatitis is a hereditary disorder, frequently associated with allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. The disease may be influenced by many triggering factors such as irritants, aeroallergens, food, microbial organisms, sex hormones, stress factors, sweating, and climatologic factors. Moreover, it is important to be aware of contact allergy as a complicating factor. This review deals with recent clinical, experimental, and some therapeutic data on these triggering factors.
