Abstract

Congenital psoriasis is a rare skin disease that can clinically manifest in the oral cavity in many ways. Although manifestations over the skin are frequent, oral manifestations are rare, especially in pediatric patients. A clear family history, proper examination, and investigations are essential to diagnose this condition. This case report aims to highlight the oral and systemic manifestations of a case of psoriasis in a male pediatric patient.
