  • Title: Contact orofacial granulomatosis caused by delayed hypersensitivity to gold and mercury.
    Author: Lazarov A, Kidron D, Tulchinsky Z, Minkow B.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2003 Dec; 49(6):1117-20. PubMed ID: 14639396.
    Abstract:
    Orofacial granulomatosis, an entity with characteristic clinicopathologic features, is thought to be a reactive process. The authors describe orofacial granulomatosis associated with contact allergy to gold in dental crowns in one patient and a possible allergic contact reaction to mercury from dental fillings in another one. Thus allergic contact dermatitis to the metals gold and mercury should be considered as a possible etiologic agent of orofacial granulomatosis.
