The granulomatous disorder, termed oro-facial granulomatosis, includes a localised condition affecting the mouth and face as well as the oral manifestations of Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis. The clinical presentation is variable and the apparent increase in the number of patients presenting in recent years probably reflects a greater diagnostic awareness. The aetiology remains to be established but some patients have been found to be intolerent of certain foods, the elimination of which from their diet leads to a resolution of the facial swelling.
这种肉芽肿性疾病被称为口面部肉芽肿病，包括一种影响口腔和面部的局部病症以及克罗恩病和结节病的口腔表现。其临床表现多变，近年来就诊患者数量的明显增加可能反映了诊断意识的提高。病因仍有待确定，但已发现一些患者对某些食物不耐受，从饮食中去除这些食物可使面部肿胀消退。
