A Diagnostic Approach to Recurrent Orofacial Swelling: A Retrospective Study of 104 Patients
2017, Mayo Clinic ProceedingsCitation Excerpt :Potential contact triggers should be sought when OFG is suspected, and, as our study demonstrates, they may be further elucidated with patch testing. Identification of potential allergens may also assist with management of patients with OFG because elimination diets have successfully ameliorated symptoms for some patients.33,40,46,47 In 3 of the 104 patients, sarcoidosis was diagnosed.
Orofacial granulomatosis
2016, Clinics in DermatologyCitation Excerpt :One group43 found a significantly greater prevalence of allergy as determined by a history of asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, or acute food allergy, as well as positive skin prick tests and serum IgE levels, in patients with OFG compared with the general population (82% versus 22%, P < .0005). Multiple foodstuffs have been reported as causative or contributing to OFG, including dairy products, eggs, peanuts, wheat, chocolate, monosodium glutamate, carbone piperitone, carvone, carmoisine, cobalt, sun yellow dye, cinnamaldehyde, and benzoic acid.21,40,44–51 Allergy to toothpaste and dental restorative materials, including amalgam and mercury, has also been described.52–54
Orofacial Granulomatosis
2015, Dermatologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Studies on the expression of cytokines and chemokines in OFG lesions have found a predominant Th1-mediated immune response.12,28 A wide range of hypersensitivities have been reported in OFG patients, including dental restorative materials,29,30 toothpastes and other dental hygiene products,31,32 cocoa and chocolate,31,32 cinnamon compounds, carvone, carbone piperitone, aspartate,31,33–37 carmosine and sun yellow dye,33 monosodium glutamate,33,38 benzoates,33,35–37,39,40 and tartrazine.39 Cinnamon and benzoate compounds have been suggested to be the most common triggers.31–33,36,39,40
