title: [Treatment of granulomatous cheilitis with fumaric acid esters in a young woman].
abstract: Granulomatous cheilitis is a rare granulomatous inflammation of the lips of unknown origin; mainly young adults are affected. So far, there is no generally effectual treatment available for this disfiguring dermatosis. We show the efficacy of a treatment with fumaric acid esters reporting the case of a 14-year-old girl with granulomatous cheilitis resistant to previous therapy. Our successful therapy consisted of fumaric acid esters according to the therapeutic schedule for psoriasis and showed a good tolerance subjectively and objectively.
