WG oral lesions are reported to occur in 6%\u201313% of patients; they were an initial presenting feature in only 2% of cases. A case of strawberry gingivitis as the first sign of WG presented with erythematous and painful localized gingival enlargement affecting the maxillary anterior region of jaw in a 17-year-old boy is reported here. Correlation of histopathology with routine hematoxylin and eosin and special stains such as Grocott-Gomori's methenamine-silver nitrate and periodic acid\u2013Schiff, peripheral blood smear, chest radiographs, Mantoux test and clinical presentation were established in diagnosing this rare entity. By the above-mentioned procedures, we arrived at the diagnosis of WG. The aim of reporting this case was to emphasize that, the dental surgeon often being the first person to examine the oral cavity, should be familiar with the typical appearance of gingiva as \u201cstrawberry gingivitis,\u201d its clinical course, diagnostic parameters and adequate management of WG.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_3_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,7]],"date-time":"2020-05-07T15:47:24Z","timestamp":1588866444000},"page":"172-175","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Strawberry gingivitis \u2013 First sign of Wegener's granulomatosis"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Chandulal D.","family":"Dhalkari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Implantology, Government Dental College and Hospital, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sayali Chandrakant","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Implantology, Government Dental College and Hospital, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maya S.","family":"Indurkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Implantology, Government Dental College and Hospital, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1016\/S1079-2104(98)90418-8","article-title":"Wegener's granulomatosis presenting as oral lesions: A case report","volume":"85","author":"Lilly","year":"1998","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod"},{"key":"R3-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2005.04.018","article-title":"Wegener's granulomatosis: The current understanding","volume":"100","author":"Ponniah","year":"2005","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod"},{"key":"R4-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"500","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjoms.2009.02.012","article-title":"Strawberry gingival enlargement as only manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis","volume":"47","author":"Bhatt","year":"2009","journal-title":"Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R5-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.2340\/00015555-0008","article-title":"Strawberry gingivitis: An isolated manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis?","volume":"86","author":"Louren\u00e7o","year":"2006","journal-title":"Acta Derm Venereol"},{"key":"R6-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"651","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2009.04.007","article-title":"\u201cStrawberry like\u201d gingivitis being the first sign of Wegener's granulomatosis","volume":"20","author":"Ruokonen","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Intern Med"},{"key":"R7-20250920","first-page":"533","article-title":"Wegeners granulomatosis: pathology and review of the literature","volume":"58","author":"Godman","year":"1954","journal-title":"AMA Arch Pathol"},{"key":"R8-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"705","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1990.61.11.705","article-title":"Gingival manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis","volume":"61","author":"Cohen","year":"1990","journal-title":"J Periodontol"},{"key":"R9-20250920","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1016\/S0901-5027(05)80454-0","article-title":"Oral manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis.
