The aetiology for these symptoms included vast pathological varieties but none of them could fit in. Clinical features were similar to orofacial graulomatosis but histopathological examination revealed chronic non-specific infection. Therefore, the final diagnosis was made as idiopathic macrocheilia through exclusion criteria. Management with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg, twice a week for 3 weeks, resulted in significant remission in lip swelling without recurrence after a 6-month follow-up. ER -
