Ulcerative-necrotic stomatitis is a disease that most often found in secondary immunodeficiency conditions, such as persons with a human immunodeficiency virus and reduced nutrition. The clinical case of ulcerative necrotic stomatitis complicated by adenophlegmon of the mouth floor described below demonstrates one of the stomatogenic infection complications not previously described in the periodic medical literature. A diffuse inflammatory process developed in the patient P. 78 years old with the background hypertension, chronic heart failure and iron deficiency anemia required inpatient treatment and the extra-oral surgical approach to eliminate the maxillofacial region infectious focus. Thus, elderly patients with ulcerative-necrotic stomatitis and concomitant diseases should be well-observed by general dentists due to possibility of the maxillofacial region infection spreading that requires urgent hospitalization and surgical treatment.
