Orofacial granulomatous (OFG) also known as granulomatous cheilitis, is a condition that causes the lips or mouth to become edematous due to a granulomatous inflammatory process. The underlying cause of the disease is unknown; however, it has been linked to other granulomatous pathologies, including sarcoidosis and Crohn's disease. Due to the lack of evidence regarding the etiology of OFG, treatment options vary depending on the symptoms associated with the presentation of OFG and patient medical history. We present a case of long-standing idiopathic OFG in a 65-year-old African-American man. This case highlights a chronic case of OFG, associations with other disorders, the diagnostic strategy used, and management options for OFG.
口面部肉芽肿病(OFG)也称为肉芽肿性唇炎,是一种由于肉芽肿性炎症过程导致嘴唇或口腔出现水肿的病症。该疾病的根本原因尚不清楚;然而,它与其他肉芽肿性疾病有关,包括结节病和克罗恩病。由于缺乏关于口面部肉芽肿病病因的证据,治疗方案因与口面部肉芽肿病表现相关的症状以及患者病史而异。我们报告一例65岁非裔美国男性长期特发性口面部肉芽肿病的病例。该病例突出了口面部肉芽肿病的慢性病例、与其他疾病的关联、所采用的诊断策略以及口面部肉芽肿病的管理选择。
