Abstrakt: An increasing number of reports have been written regarding cutaneous manifestations during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19),1-3 though knowledge of the possible oral manifestations is still poor. Notably, the oral lesions in our patient were painless, heterogeneous in morphology, and associated with severe thrombocytopenia that was probably of crucial importance in determining the onset of her cutaneous and mucosal petechiae. Detection of mucosal lesions, with or without cutaneous manifestations, could represent a sign of potentially life-threatening conditions such as severe thrombocytopenia, even in patients with apparently mild COVID-19.
