title: Treatment of Miescher's cheilitis granulomatosa in Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome.
abstract: Cheilitis granulomatosa is the most frequent dermatological sign in the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. We reviewed 27 cases of this syndrome diagnosed and treated in the last 20 years. All the patients were surgically treated and received intralesional corticosteroids during surgery and tetracycline hydrochloride (500 mg, twice daily) after the operation to prevent recurrence.
