Granulomatous cheilitis and lingua plicata – An incomplete triad of Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome

Abstract

Granulomatous cheilitis is a rare granulomatous inflammatory disorder characterized by chronic swelling of the lips. It is an oligosymptomatic form or an incomplete form of Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome, which comprises recurrent orofacial edema, facial nerve palsy, and fissured tongue. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old female with persistent upper lip swelling for three months.
