It predominantly affects children, adolescents, and young adults, typically manifesting on non-keratinized oral tissues such as the buccal and labial mucosa, the floor of the mouth, and the ventral surface of the tongue Clinically, lesions present as sharply circumscribed, shallow round or ovoid ulcers featuring a grayish-yellow necrotic fibrinous base surrounded by a prominent erythematous halo The pathophysiology is driven primarily by T-cell–mediated immune dysregulation and mucosal cytokine ...
