Introduction:
Cheilitis granulomatosa is an idiopathic granulomatous disorder which is rare and cosmetically disturbing. It presents with a persistent painless labial swelling which obscure etiology. Diagnosis is mainly based on the histopathological features following biopsy. There is no definitive treatment of this disease, reason being its lack of well-defined etiology. It has been proven largely resistant to most of the treatment options.
Case Description:
A 28-year-old man presented with the labial swelling which was confirmed to be cheilitis granulomatosa following histopathologic examination. We have successfully managed this case using intralesional steroids.
Conclusion:
Intralesional steroids can be used successfully in management of cheilitis granulomatosa.
