  • Title: An uncommon case of lip swelling: Granulomatous cheilitis associated with Crohn's disease.
    Author: McCorkle CE, Seethala RR, Gillman GS.
    Journal: Am J Otolaryngol; 2021; 42(2):102897. PubMed ID: 33429182.
    Abstract:
    Unbeknownst to most otolaryngologists, there is quite a range of oral manifestations which commonly manifest in the context of inflammatory bowel disease. As providers who will encounter such patients in consultation it is beneficial to be aware of that association. Lip swelling (granulomatous cheilitis) is just one such presentation, which is often otherwise mistaken for angioneurotic edema and can lead to unwarranted testing and misdirected treatment. We present such a case to highlight the educational value of this patient encounter.
