Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. In many developed countries, KD has replaced rheumatic heart disease as the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Among the classical criteria for a diagnosis of KD are oral manifestations such as strawberry tongue, erythematous cracked lip, and oropharyngeal mucositis. We report the case of a 24-year-old Saudi female with a history of Kawasaki disease who presented to our oral medicine clinic with recurrent painless swelling of the upper lip. As lip swelling has not previously been reported as an oral manifestation of KD, this case represents a novel presentation of recurrent Kawasaki disease in an adult female.
川崎病（KD）是一种病因不明的急性全身性血管炎。在许多发达国家，川崎病已取代风湿性心脏病，成为儿童后天性心脏病的主要病因。川崎病诊断的经典标准包括口腔表现，如草莓舌、唇红部红斑皲裂和口咽黏膜炎症。我们报告一例24岁沙特女性病例，该患者有川崎病病史，因上唇反复无痛性肿胀就诊于我们的口腔内科门诊。由于此前未曾有过将唇部肿胀报告为川崎病口腔表现的情况，该病例代表了成年女性复发性川崎病的一种新表现形式。
