Case Report

Case Report: Severe Upper Lip and Hard Palate Necrosis Associated With Chronic NSAID Abuse

A 67-year-old woman experienced extensive soft-tissue ulceration of the right upper lip and adjacent maxillary bone as a consequence of attempted abuse of aspirin (NSAID). All oral lesions healed within 28 days after local and systemic therapy. Oral ulceration has many potential causes ranging from physical trauma to malignancy. Chemicals are a less common cause of traumatic ulceration. Most chemical burns are characterized by mild to moderate tissue damage that heals spontaneously within seven to 15 days without scarring. The primary intervention involves discontinuing the aspirin use and addressing the underlying vascular compromise. Treatment may include supportive measures, wound care, and in severe cases, reconstructive surgery.
