| Popis: | Orofacial granulomatosis is an uncommon skin condition affecting the face and predominantly the lips, also referred to as cheilitis granulomatosa. We will be discussing a case of a 50-year-old female with a history of swollen lips for the past 3 years who had visited various hospitals and also had undergone multiple diagnostic tests with no conclusive diagnosis and was treated for the possible diagnoses of hemangioma and arterio-venous malformation with ineffective treatment results. Upon careful elicitation of details, we arrived at the diagnosis of orofacial granulomatosis and treated her with a combination therapy with resultant rapid regression of the lesion. |
