    Abstract:
    This a case report of a 24 year old black woman who referred to her physician recurrent episodes of inferior lip enlargement for a period of two years. Remission periods were incomplete, unrelated to any apparent cause and plicate tongue. No improvement was seen with medication, including the use of steroids. Complementary exams were negative except the biopsy which reported granulomatous cheilitis. We conclude that the Melkersson Rosenthal Syndrome must be considered when confronted with a patient who suffers from lip enlargement and pleated tongue, with or without neurological alterations as for example, facial paralysis.
