Olanzapine-induced progressive facial oedema mimicking Morbihan disease.

Abstract

We present the case of a 55-year-old man with a 20-year history of olanzapine-induced progressive solid facial oedema mimicking Morbihan disease. Olanzapine was not initially considered as the cause of his facial oedema as he had been on treatment for years prior to disease onset. This case reminds us to do a thorough drug review to rule out an iatrogenic cause before making a diagnosis of Morbihan disease.
