Core Tip	Orofacial edema of unknown etiology is the most typical clinical feature of the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. Many investigators suggest cheilitis granulomatosa as a monosymptomatic form of melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS). The coexistence of orofacial edema with facial nerve palsy or fissured tongue could be characterized as an oligosymptomatic MRS. Patients with facial palsy and fissured tongue, without orofacial edema, should not be considered having MRS. Histological evidence is not necessary. Corticosteroids are generally accepted as the mainstay treatment.
