Cheilitis Granulomatosa in Childhood: Unveiling an Uncommon Cause of Lip Enlargement

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cheilitis granulomatosa, a rare condition in children, is marked by painless, sudden lip swelling, which can last for an extended period. Since cheilitis granulomatosa can precede gastrointestinal symptoms in some cases of Crohn's disease, a comprehensive evaluation before administering systemic inflammatory modulatory treatments and long-term follow-up is necessary.
