Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is a rare condition classically characterized by orofacial edema, furrowed tongue, and peripheral facial paralysis. Miescher's cheilitis or granulomatous macrocheilitis represents the monosymptomatic form of this syndrome. It is rare in childhood, more common in young adults, and its etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. We report a pediatric case of monosymptomatic granulomatous cheilitis treated with clarithromycin.
