ABSTRACT
A 43-year-old female had diffuse swelling with erythematous papules on the lower lip and an erythematous patch on the chin for 1 year. The lesions were nonpururitic, non-tender and odontogenic infection was combined. A Histopathological study of the biopsy specimen of the chin showed noncaseating epithelioid granuloma through the entire dermis. Special stains showed no evidence of fungal organism or acid fast bacilli. Theses clinical and histopathologic findings indicated the diagnosis of cheilitis granulomatosa. Odontogenic infectious sources were removed and antibiotics and dapsone oral medication have been used and the lesions showed improvement.
