Abstract
Patients receiving cancer treatment, especially myelosuppressive chemotherapy, are at risk of developing oral lesions exclusive of mucositis. The most common are those associated with opportunistic mucosal infections and, in the case of allogeneic HSCT recipients, oral lesions of graft-versushost disease (GVHD). Lesion location, presentation and course are the key elements in making a correct diagnosis.
