Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Factitious cheilitis is a chronic lip condition.
  • It presents as crusting and ulceration, likely from self-inflicted lip trauma (chewing/sucking).
  • Differential diagnosis includes atopy, actinic damage, and other cheilitis types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of factitious cheilitis.
  • To highlight diagnostic considerations for crusted lip lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A case of a 56-year-old female with a lower lip lesion was analyzed.
  • Diagnostic methods included clinical evaluation and histopathologic examination (biopsy).

Main Results:

  • Biopsy revealed granulation tissue and inflammation, ruling out malignancy.
  • The patient was diagnosed with factitious cheilitis based on clinical and histopathologic findings.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis requires comprehensive clinical history and laboratory tests.
  • Histopathology is crucial to exclude other conditions.
  • Psychiatric evaluation and treatment are essential for successful management.
