Cheilitis granulomatosa (CG) is a rare, persistent, non-tender swelling of one or both lips caused by a non caseating, granulomatous inflammation, first described by Miescher in 1945 (1). CG can be a manifestation of a systemic granulomatous condition such as Crohn's disease or Sarcoidosis, it can be idiopathic or it can be part of the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome which is a triad of recurrent orofacial swelling, fissured tongue, and intermittent facial palsy. |
