Abstract:
Orofacial granulomatous (OFG) also known as granulomatous cheilitis, is a condition that causes the lips or mouth to become edematous due to a granulomatous inflammatory process. The underlying cause of the disease is unknown; however, it has been linked to other granulomatous pathologies, including sarcoidosis and Crohn's disease. Due to the lack of evidence regarding the etiology of OFG, treatment options vary depending on the symptoms associated with the presentation of OFG and patient medical history. We present a case of long-standing idiopathic OFG in a 65-year-old African-American man. This case highlights a chronic case of OFG, associations with other disorders, the diagnostic strategy used, and management options for OFG.
