   Abstract:	Antihypertensive drugs have been reported to cause adverse reactions to the oral mucosa such as aphthous ulceration, xerostomia, lichenoid reaction, vesiculoerosive lesions, pemphigus-like lesions, black hairy tongue, taste disturbance, lupuslike lesions, gingival hyperplasia and others. A Thai 51-year-old male patient was diagnosed with hypertension by his physician in 2001 and was treated with Atenolol (Prenolol®) combined with a diuretic drug for 2 years. In 2003, two years after administration with Atenolol, the patient developed oral ulceration on the right retromolar. This letter shows clinical picture, treatment and the possibilities of the connection between antihypertensive drugs with oral cancer.
