Dermatologists should suspect CUS in chronic steroid-unresponsive erosive/ulcerative stomatitis. In these cases, to diagnose CUS, the presence of stratified epithelium-specific antinuclear antibodies (SES-ANA) should be investigated through immunofluorescence. Once diagnosed, CUS can be treated with antimalarials, which are an effective treatment contrarily to corticosteroids.
