Abstract
TThis paper presents a case of 60 years old patient with oligosymptomatic form of the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by three symptoms: swelling of the lips and face, unilateral facial palsy, and lingua plicata. The literature often includes information on monosymptomatic form of the syndrome and granulomatous chelitis, or the existence of only two symptoms of the classic triad. The anamnesis, clinical and histopathological findings in this case confirmed the existence of chronic granulomatous inflammation confined to the lower lip, indicating an oligosymptomatic form of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. The treatment included application of prednisone at a dose of 25 mg daily, with histamine H1- and H2 anatagonists, and antibiotic ofloxacin for urinary tract infection.
