No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01 Background: Fixed drug eruption is a drug reaction characterized by the recurrent occurrence of erosive or ulcerative lesions in skin or mucosa surfaces upon the use of a specific drug. The occurrence of fixed drug eruption in oral mucosa is rare and ill documented. Case report: A 37-year-old woman who presented with recurrent erosive lesions in the palatal marginal gingiva of the upper first molars for 3 consecutive months. In anamnesis and follow-up, the time association with the intake of piroxicam to treat menstrual pain led us to the diagnosis of fixed drug eruption. Conclusion: Piroxicam is a rare culprit drug to fixed drug eruption, especially in oral mucosa.
