Orofacial granulomatosis is a condition that manifests clinically as painless labial enlargement, perioral and mucosal edema, oral ulcers, and gingivitis. It is characterized by non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of the oral and maxillofacial region. When the swelling only affects the lips, the pathology is called Miescher's granulomatous cheilitis; however, when it also causes facial paresis and lingua plicata, it is known as Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. We report a case that was successfully treated with a combination of a local (intralesional) steroid, a systemic antibiotic, and a systemic steroid. After 6 months of therapy, we observed improvement in gingival hyperplasia and buccal mucosa and lip edema.
口面部肉芽肿病是一种临床表现为无痛性唇部肿大、口周和黏膜水肿、口腔溃疡及牙龈炎的病症。其特征为口腔颌面部区域的非坏死性肉芽肿性炎症。当肿胀仅累及唇部时，病理学上称为米舍尔肉芽肿性唇炎；然而，当它还导致面部麻痹和皱襞舌时，则被称为梅尔克森 - 罗森塔尔综合征。我们报告了一例通过局部（病灶内）类固醇、全身性抗生素和全身性类固醇联合治疗成功治愈的病例。经过6个月的治疗，我们观察到牙龈增生、颊黏膜及唇部水肿有所改善。
