Abstract
We report an unusual case of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome presenting as diffuse facial swelling with facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerve palsies. A skin biopsy revealed non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas throughout the dermis. The disease responded poorly to systemic steroids, antihistamines, antibiotics and potassium iodide.Entities:
