| superbdoc Total Posts: 273 | Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:53 am Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic disease characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of the respiratory tract, kidneys, and other organs. The most characteristic oral manifestation of WG is an unusual form of hyperplastic gingivitis. Because the clinical appearance of the affected gums resembles overripe strawberries, the gingivitis is referred to as "strawberry gums". |

They consist of small, closely packed blood vessels. They may be absent at birth, and develop at several weeks. They usually grow rapidly, remain a fixed size, and then subside. Ninety-five percent of strawberry hemangiomas disappear by the time the child is 9 years old, although there may be some slight discoloration or puckering of the skin where a strawberry hemangioma existed.  |
