Abstract:
Cheilitis glandularis simplex, the clinical term first defined by Puente and Acevedo in 1935, is characterized by the development of hyperplastic mucous glands in the lips, associated with dilated ductal canals; it is manifested clinically by a usually painless swelling of the lips and a variably constant, bothersome, sticky mucoid discharge. Recently we have experienced a case of cheilitis glandularis simplex in a 13-year-old boy and an excellent cosmetic result was obtained after surgical excision and repair.
