Cheilitis granulomatosa: A case report with review of literature

Abstract: Cheilitis granulomatosa (CG) is a chronic swelling of the lip due to granulomatous inflammation. It is a rare inflammatory disorder first described by Miescher in 1945. It is a monosymptomatic form or an incomplete variant of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome; a triad of recurrent orofacial edema, recurrent facial nerve palsy and fissuring of the tongue. As the etiology remains unknown, treatment of CG is challenging. We present a case of CG in a 43-year-old female patient secondary to allergy to certain food item… Show more

“…Also, they are applied extensively in organic composition. 23,24 A lot of efforts have been devoted to synthesize bis-porphyrinodimethine cyanine dye 8 by reaction of compound 7 with two moles of 1-formyl porphyrin in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of a catalytic quantity of piperidine under nitrogen gas for 24 h, affording a good yield. Structure of 8 was based on it spectral and analytical analyses.…”

“…The etiology of MC is poorly understood, but has been associated with genetic 7 , allergic 8 , and infectious 9 factors. Some cases may demonstrate an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, with the responsible gene mapping to chromosome 9p11.…”
