Cheilitis granulomatosa (CG) is a rare disorder of unknown origin, which is characterized clinically by painless, recurrent or persistent swelling of 1 or both lips. Betel quids, composed of betel nuts (seeds of the Areca catechu), slake lime, and Piper betel leaf/or Piper betel inflorescence, are widely used in Asia and strongly associated with oral mucosal disease. It has also been found to be a cause of contact leukomelanosis because of its ingredients of various chemicals. We describe a case of CG induced by betel quid chewing.
肉芽肿性唇炎（CG）是一种病因不明的罕见疾病，临床特征为一侧或双侧唇部无痛性、反复或持续性肿胀。槟榔块由槟榔果（槟榔种子）、熟石灰和蒌叶/蒌花序组成，在亚洲广泛使用，且与口腔黏膜疾病密切相关。因其含有多种化学成分，还被发现是接触性白黑变病的一个病因。我们报告一例因嚼食槟榔块诱发的肉芽肿性唇炎病例。
