A case of a 19-year-old female patient is presented to a private practice dental clinician with swelling of the lower lip and inflammation of the anterior dorsal tongue. The patient presented with moderate oral pain as well as abdominal pain. The lesions were biopsied and noted for a granulomatous histopathologic appearance. The patient reported a history of using cinnamon as a flavoring agent. The lesions resolved within two weeks after the biopsy procedures and topical steroid therapy. The lesions were diagnosed as cheilitis granulomatosa/orofacial granulomatosis. The patient has remained lesion free as of the three-year follow-up. Etiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic issues related to this relatively rare condition of cheilitis granulomatosa/orofacial granulomatosis are discussed.
一名19岁女性患者因下唇肿胀和舌背前部炎症就诊于一名私人执业牙科临床医生。患者伴有中度口腔疼痛和腹痛。对病变进行活检，组织病理学表现为肉芽肿性。患者报告有使用肉桂作为调味剂的病史。活检和局部类固醇治疗后两周内病变消退。病变被诊断为肉芽肿性唇炎/口面部肉芽肿病。截至三年随访，患者一直无病变。本文讨论了与这种相对罕见的肉芽肿性唇炎/口面部肉芽肿病相关的病因、诊断和治疗问题。
