Abstract:
Cheilitis granulomatosa as a monosymtomatic form of the Melkersson-Rosenthal sydrome, was charaterized by reccurrent or persistent edema in the orofacial lesion that could not be explained on the basis of infections, systemic, malignant, or connective tissue disorders. Herein we report two cases of cheilitis granulomatosa which have been treated with triamcinolone acetonide intralesional injection, hydroxychloroquine 400mg per day. After a short course of systemic steroids the swelling of the lip improved.
