Abstract

Objective

To report the case of an older adult with uremic stomatitis.

Background

Uremic stomatitis is a rare condition, with only 57 cases documented in the literature. Gerodontologists may be unfamiliar with this condition.

Materials and Methods

A 71-year-old male patient, undergoing oncological treatment and with chronic kidney disease (CKD), presented with an asymptomatic, exuberant tongue lesion which had persisted for 3 months. The lesion was characterised by a white-yellowish plaque with a rough, warty surface covering the entire dorsum and lateral borders of the tongue. Blood tests revealed relatively high urea (130 mg/dL) and creatinine (2.22 mg/dL) levels.

Results

Clinical, biochemical and histopathological data were consistent with uremic stomatitis. The patient passed away shortly after diagnosis.

Conclusion

This report documents the fifth case of uremic stomatitis in older adults in their 70s. Prompt diagnosis of this condition in individuals with CKD is critically important because it can alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life and extend survival.

期刊介绍： The ultimate aim of Gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialties must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. In addition, management of other health problems impacts on dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas. Bringing together these diverse topics within one journal serves clinicians who are seeking to read and to publish papers across a broad spectrum of specialties. This journal provides the juxtaposition of papers from traditional specialties but which share this patient-centred interest, providing a synergy that serves progress in the subject of gerodontology.
