Abstract
A 13-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. The patient had undergone several unsuccessful treatments, leading to the decision to initiate apremilast. He showed a good clinical response with reduction in outbreaks, and no adverse effects were observed. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of a pediatric patient treated with apremilast for this indication.
