SUMMARY: Oral aphtha is the most commonly occurring oral lesion. Dentists frequently seeing such cases put the diagnosis straightforwardly. But in certain circumstances diagnosis becomes thorny if oral aphthae mimic similar other lesions. The case reported in this paper refers to a patient with a history of recurrent multiple aphthous ulcerations; she was given symptomatic therapy followed by immunomodulation to address the recurrence of ulcers. A review of literature is additionally made.
KEY WORDS: Ulcer, Levamisole, Management, Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS)
