Orofacial granulomatosis: report of two Nigerian cases.
Two cases of orofacial granulomatosis are reported. One case is that of a 24-year-old Nigerian female, who presented with a complete form of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. The second case is that of a 32-year-old Nigerian male who presented with a form of orofacial granulomatosis which is consistent with Miescher's cheilitis granulomatosa, and who also gave a history of intolerance to some food items. The relevant literature is reviewed.
