Abstract
Relevance. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) is a rare disease in which oral cavity symptoms manifest as 'strawberry' gingivitis.
Description of the clinical case. The paper presents early oral cavity clinical symptoms of a rare systemic disease – granulomatosis with polyangiitis with the manifestation of gingival hyperplasia in 1 patient, in the form of so-called "strawberry gingivitis", in another – a non-specific ulcer on the mucous mem-brane of the soft palate. After examination, the dentist referred the patients to a rheumatologist, who confirmed the diagnosis based on additional diagnostic methods.
Conclusion. Timely initiated therapy can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and life expectancy.
