Dear Sirs Nicorandil (Ikorel; Rhône–Poulenc Rorer, Guildford, UK) is a potassium-channel activator used in the treatment of severe ischaemic heart disease. It causes anal and oral ulceration.

This report describes oral ulceration of the mucosa overlying the lingual shelf and mylohyoid ridge of the mandible and, less commonly on tori and exostoses, in association with bone sequestration. Trauma, wh...
