ABSTRACT
Granulomatous inflammation represents a unique form of the chronic inflammatory response. Their occurrence in oral soft & hard tissues is an uncommon but represents a diagnostic dilemma because of the wide variety of possible etiologic factors. Recognition is important because of the limited number of possible conditions that causes it and for specific treatment and outcome of the disease. They often have systemic manifestations that affect organs throughout the body and share similar histogenesis. Therefore, an extensive clinical, microscopic and laboratory evaluation is required to identify the source of the oral granulomatous diseases.
