Description

We report a case of a 6-year-old boy with marked swelling of the upper lip but no facial palsy or fissured tongue. Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis were ruled out by blood analysis and physical examination. After extraction of four deciduous teeth containing periapical lesions, the lip swelling improved temporarily. A biopsy of the upper lip was performed when swelling recurred. The histopathological diagnosis was cheilitis granulomatosa. The swelling of the upper lip completely disappeared after an intraregional injection of dexamethasone and medication of tranilast.
