Abstract
Miescher's granulomatous macrocheilitis (cheilitis granulomatosa) is a mono- symptomatic presentation of Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome which is characterized by granulomatous swelling of the lips, and can affect both children and adults. We report the successful outcome following lip reduction surgery on an 11-year-old boy. We suggest that surgery may have a role in the management of those patients who have failed to respond to medical treatment.Entities:
