Cheilitis granulomatosa is a rare disease characterised by the recurrent labial swelling of one or both lips with the possibility of the condition to remain on a permanent basis. The disease may appear independently or it may be linked to a paralysis such as the facial and lingua plicata which then characteristic of the Melcersson-Rosenthal Syndrome. The aim of this paper is to show a case of a patient with the granulomatosae cheilitis and lingua plicata whose reaction to the Chymoral Forte treatment was excellent.
