Introduction: Granulomatous cheilitis (HQ) is a rare oral lesion, presenting clinically granulomatous swelling on the lip. Objective: This study aims to present a case report of HG, considering the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory conditions with unknown etiologies that affect the oral cavity. Objective: This study aims to present a case report of HG, considering the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory conditions with unknown etiologies that affect the oral cavity. Case report: A female patient presented increased volume in the upper lip showing painful symptoms, but without reporting associations with systemic alterations. During the clinical examination it was observed that the upper lip presented deep fissures, also observing edema that extended from the labial commissure, crossing the middle line. The diagnostic hypothesis of GQ was then raised. An incisional biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnosis. Histopathological analysis revealed the presence of non-caseous granulomas and perivascular lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate. According to the clinical data and histopathological analysis the initial diagnosis of GH was given. After initial diagnosis of HG, the patient was referred for medical evaluation to evaluate possible intestinal changes that could characterize Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome or Cronh, as well as possible late hypersensitivity reactions. Conclusions: The dentist should be prepared to diagnose significant volume increases in the lips in order to correctly manage the patient's treatment, thus establishing favorable prognoses for these conditions. |
