    Epstein-Barr virus–positive mucocutaneous ulcer is a recent and unusual type of lymphoproliferation, mostly associated with various forms of immunosuppression. In most cases, they regress spontaneously, but an increasing number of reports describe a spectral behavior of the lesion, which ranges from a simple ulcer with eosinophilia to aggressive ulcers. In these cases, Epstein-Barr virus–related lymphomas are the main differential diagnosis. We report a unique observation of this rare disease with mandibular involvement. Due to bone erosion, the patient was treated with 6 cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) with complete healing of the ulcer on clinical examination and PET-scan control.
