Orofacial granulomatosis is a granulomatous disease of orofacial region, which can occur for a variety of reasons. The clinical features are highly variable and sometimes so insidious that signs and symptoms are not frequently severe to cause alarm. The lips are most commonly involved with persistent/recurrent swelling. The medical history is very important as Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis can present oral manifestation. Other causes like mycobacterial infection, foreign body reaction, fungal infection, and allergy were excluded with further investigation to establish diagnosis. Here and we report a case of orofacial granulomatosis with a review of the literature.
口面部肉芽肿病是一种发生于口面部区域的肉芽肿性疾病，可由多种原因引起。其临床特征变化很大，有时非常隐匿，以至于体征和症状并不常严重到引起警觉。嘴唇最常受累，表现为持续性/复发性肿胀。病史非常重要，因为克罗恩病和结节病可出现口腔表现。通过进一步检查排除了其他病因，如分枝杆菌感染、异物反应、真菌感染和过敏，以明确诊断。在此，我们报告一例口面部肉芽肿病病例并进行文献复习。
