[Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome: report of 3 cases].

Abstract:

:Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is characterized by facial or lip edema, peripheral facial palsy and scrotal tongue. We report three patients with the syndrome. A 17 years old male had malar and superior lip enlargement that coincided with a peripheral facial palsy. A 40 years old male with recurrent facial palsy presented with episodes of contralateral facial enlargement. A 32 years old female consulted for a hypertrophy of labia minora and majora and facial infiltration. Biopsies showed a granulomatous cheilitis in all cases. Two patients were treated with clofazimine with partial results. The female patient did not accept plastic surgery.
