Labial tuberculosis: a unique cause of lip swelling complicating HIV infection.
BACKGROUND
HIV disease has many oral manifestations including tuberculosis, which most commonly presents as irregular ulceration of the tongue or the palate. We detail an HIV-infected patient found to have tuberculosis of the lip.


CONCLUSIONS
To our knowledge tuberculosis of the lips has never been reported in conjunction with HIV infection, and in this case establishing the oral diagnosis resulted in the diagnosis of disseminated disease.
