Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • Granulomatous cheilitis is an idiopathic disorder presenting as painless lip edema.
  • It can be associated with Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, a triad including facial paralysis and fissured tongue.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male patient experienced persistent lip swelling unresponsive to medication withdrawal.
  • Patch testing revealed reactions to bromonitropropane and gold, deemed clinically irrelevant.

Findings:

  • Treatment strategies employed included topical and intralesional glucocorticoids.
  • Tacrolimus ointment was also utilized as part of the management plan.

Implications:

  • This case highlights successful therapeutic approaches for granulomatous cheilitis.
  • Management may involve a combination of topical, intralesional, and systemic therapies for refractory cases.
