“…Other associations have been identified such as orthopedic implants, chronic inflammation, and underlying malignancy [ 2 , 3 ]. Interestingly, it has also been described as a histologic feature of granulomatous cheilitis and Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) [ 4 ]. We present the case of a 71-year-old female with cutaneous intralymphatic histiocytosis of the lower face with uncertain etiology.…”

Intralymphatic Histiocytosis: An Unusual Presentation

Intralymphatic histiocytosis (ILH) is a rare cutaneous condition initially described in 1994 by O’Grady et al. It often appears as a red to violaceous, livedoid patch or plaque usually on the extremities. We present a 71-year-old female with a history of psoriasis, 50 pack years smoking and recent Legionnaires disease who came to us complaining of a red to violaceous, blanching, edematous, mildly tender lesion covering the left lower lip and extending to the chin and anterior neck. After multiple biopsies, ILH was confirmed and the patient was initially started on tacrolimus 0.1% ointment b.i.d., but there was no response. Then, she was started on oral pentoxifylline and intermittent topical steroids, as well as continuing the topical tacrolimus. There was again no response, so now she is taking a TNF-ɑ inhibitor as it appears to be a granulomatous process. These ILH cases are very rare and there is limited literature that describes one treatment as a cure. Treatment of ILH is very difficult, but several different therapies have been reported with varying success. If the disease is secondary to an underlying inflammatory disease or malignancy, then treatment of the primary disorder can lead to resolution of the ILH.

“…Current understanding on the aetiology and pathogenesis of CG are still incomplete 5, 6 . Some studies have shown that CG may be related to several factors such as infection, genetics, and allergic reactions 7, 8 . To date, standardized and curative treatment methods for CG are yet to be identified.…”

We explored the applicability of Facescan three-dimensional (3D) facial reconstruction technology for adjunctive diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of cheilitis granulomatosa (CG) in 33 patients with CG and 29 healthy controls at the Dept. of Oral Medicine, Peking University, School and Hospital of Stomatology (PKUSS), from January 2015 to May 2016. The Facescan structured-light 3D facial reconstruction scanner was used to scan the scope of lips in both groups, in order to acquire 3D morphological data of the lips. The lengths of six characteristic line segments were measured from the 3D lip model of the two groups, and the acquired data were compared. The results showed that the distance between the labiale superius and labiale inferius, and the lengths of the upper and lower vermilion borders showed significant differences between the CG and control groups, by using the 3D lip model. Thus, Facescan 3D facial reconstruction technology showed good reproducibility in the evaluation of lip swelling in CG patients, and it can be used to analyse the degree of lip swelling and evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of different treatments for CG.
