In orofacial granulomatosis, sections show oral mucosa with a sparse inflammatory infiltrate and mild oedema (figure 1). Higher power examination shows ectasia of lymphatics next to rare loose granulomas (figures 2-4, arrows indicate granulomas). Sometimes the granulomas may be difficult to find and extensive serial sectioning of the biopsy is recommended.
