Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome caused by saprodontia: a case report.
A 24-year-old female patient with Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) in association with saprodontia is reported. She presented with lower labial swelling and left facial edema. Histological examination of the involved oral mucosa showed a noncaseating epithelioid granuloma. Results from the laboratory and imaging examinations were normal or negative. Her orofacial swelling disappeared after treatment of the saprodontia of the left first molar.
