International Journal of Dermatology Sciences · 2020 · Vol. 2(1) · pp. 05–07

Abstract

Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is an uncommon chronic granulomatous condition with a multifactorial etiology and pathogenesis. Genetic, immunologic, allergic, and infectious mechanisms have been implicated. OFG is often used as a descriptor to encompass all entities with orofacial swelling and histologic evidence of non-caseating granulomas. Case report: A 53-year-old patient, admitted for management of macrocheilitis and lesion in the nose, whose exploration is in favor of lupus pernio.
