mucosite buccale; mucite buccale; mucosite orale; mucite orale : Selon bon nombre d’auteurs, ces termes sont des synonymes de «stomatite». Toutefois, les termes «mucosite buccale», «mucite buccale», «mucosite orale» et «mucite orale» semblent être davantage employés que «stomatite» lorsque l'affection qu'ils désignent est décrite comme un effet indésirable de traitements du cancer, notamment la chimiothérapie ou la radiothérapie. 7, record 1, French, - stomatite
