Abstract

Miescher's cheilitis is clinically characterized by persistent swelling of the lip(s). Its pathogenesis is still unknown. Histopathologically is characterized by sub-epithelial edema, increased number of dilated lymphatic vessels and an inflammatory infiltrate and/or non-caseating/non- necrotic granulomas. Even if the disorder must be controlled by medical therapy, surgery may be required to treat most severe cases.
