Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Granulomatous cheilitis (GC) is a lip inflammation of unknown cause.
  • Infectious agents are often excluded, despite potential links to tuberculosis.
  • Tuberculide-associated GC with internal involvement is rarely documented.

Observation:

  • A case of GC was observed.
  • Pulmonary involvement consistent with tuberculosis was detected.
  • The patient had GC secondary to a tuberculide.

Findings:

  • The patient's GC was linked to a tuberculide.
  • Pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed concurrently.
  • Antituberculous chemotherapy led to GC and pulmonary improvement.

Implications:

  • This case highlights tuberculosis as a potential cause of GC.
  • It underscores the importance of investigating internal involvement in GC.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis can resolve GC.
