Chronic edema of the lips is rare but disabling. We present 3 illustrative cases of chronic edema involving the lips. The causes were (1) idiopathic, (2) lymphedema occurring after radiation therapy, and (3) cheilitis granulomatosa. The edema subsided with compression therapy in the first 2
Granulomatous cheilitis (GC) is a chronic edema which frequently affects the upper lip due to granulomatous inflammation. Its etiology is currently unknown. This rare disease is generally accompanied by Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS), characterized by scrotal tongue, orofacial edema and facial
Miescher's cheilitis granulomatosa (CG) consists of the appearance of recurrent labial edema on one or both lips, which can become persistent. It has traditionally been considered as a monosymptomatic form of the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, described as the association of recurrent labial and/or
Orofacial granulomatosis, an uncommon immunologically mediated disorder, includes cheilitis granulomatosa and Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. It is clinically characterized by recurrent or persistent swelling of the orofacial tissues with a spectrum of other orofacial features and sometimes with
In 12 patients with cheilitis granulomatosa (ChG) epithelioid granulomas were histologically observed mostly within lympatic vessels. These granulomas appear to obstruct lymphatic lumina thus causing lymphostasis, lymphatic dilatation and lymphatic edema. The lack of literature concerning
Cheilitis granulomatosa (ChG), also known as Miescher's cheilitis, is an uncommon, immunologically mediated nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent, painless swelling of the lips. The aim of the study was a pathomorphological and immunohistochemical assessment of
BACKGROUND
Miescher's cheilitis is clinically characterized by persistent swelling of the lip(s). Its pathogenesis is still unknown. Histopathologically is characterized by sub-epithelial edema, increased number of dilated lymphatic vessels and an inflammatory infiltrate and/or non-caseating/non-
BACKGROUND
Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome may manifest as the classical triad (orofacial edema, facial nerve palsy and stable lingua plicata) but monosymptomatic manifestations or combinations of typical symptoms are not infrequent. The available therapeutic options provide only limited success or
Many disorders of the digestive tract cause cutaneous manifestations that may be an indication of an underlying condition; hence dermatologist plays a key role in recommending that the patient see a gastroenterologist. Conversely, gastroenterologist often sees patients with mucocutaneous lesions
BACKGROUND
Patients with actinic cheilitis should be treated to prevent transformation into invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment options comprise, for instance, destructive approaches, such as vermilionectomy and carbon dioxide laser ablation. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has demonstrated high
BACKGROUND
Melkersson Rosenthal's syndrome is a rare disease that classically combines: orofacial edema, peripheral facial paralysis and a plicated tongue. Miescher's cheilitis represents the monosymptomatic form of the disease. Its etiopathogenesis is unknown. We report 2 cases of Miescher's
A variety of exfoliative cheilitis has been observed in reactive HIV-1 patients subjected to high activity antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The lesions exhibit exfoliation, crater formation, fissuring, erosions and/or the formation of papules, vesicles and blisters associated to erythema and edema.
A 36-year-old woman presented with chronic recurring dermatitis of the vulva, perineum, and lips. The genital lesions had a 3-year history and were associated with slight pruritus and occasional pain. The lesions of the upper lip had a history of 6 months. The patient had been treated with cycles of
Objective. This study describes the clinicopathologic features and therapeutic results of 116 patients with actinic prurigo cheilitis seen over an 11-year period. Study Design. A retrospective study was carried out with hospital records and a microscopic slide review from a large dermatology
