2/19. cheilitis glandularis: an unusual histopathologic presentation.cheilitis glandularis (CG) is an uncommon disease that usually affects the lower lip of adults. It is characterized by enlargement and eversion of the lip in association with excretory duct dilatation. The presence of minor salivary gland hyperplasia is controversial. Three types of CG have been described in the literature; the classification is based on the common clinical and histopathologic findings (ie, simple, superficial, and deep). This report is of an unusual case of CG simplex for which the initial histopathologic diagnosis was papillary cystadenoma, a neoplastic process. The lesion was completely excised, and final microscopic review of a larger specimen revealed chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, dilated salivary secretory ducts with oncocytic change and periductal inflammation, and foci of adenomatous hyperplasia consisting of enlarged ducts exhibiting squamous epithelial metaplasia and hyperplasia with papillary architecture. The latter proliferative pattern is an unusual finding in what is otherwise clinically diagnosed as CG.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/19. Multiple suppurative cystic lesions of the lips and buccal mucosa: a case of suppurative stomatitis glandularis.cheilitis glandularis (CG) is a rare inflammatory salivary gland disease that usually affects the lips. Although the etiology of CG is still unknown, it is believed to be a hereditary disease with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Three clinical presentations of CG are described in the literature: simple, superficial suppurative, and deep suppurative. A case of deep suppurative CG that extended to the buccal mucosa has been previously reported as suppurative stomatitis glandularis (SSG). Here we report a case of SSG in a 64-year-old white female with a history of bilateral renal transplants for adult polycystic kidney disease, who presented with painful swollen lips and bilateral buccal mucosal lesions. The diagnosis and management of the case is discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second report of SSG, a rare condition affecting the minor salivary glands in the oral cavity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1428571428571keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/19. cheilitis glandularis in an African-American woman: response to antibiotic therapy.A 52-year-old black woman presented with a 2-day history of lower lip swelling 5 days after starting a new medication, lisinopril. She had never experienced similar episodes in the past. She denied shortness of breath, tightening of the throat, swelling of the tongue, generalized cutaneous eruption, urticaria, or pruritus. She also denied symptoms consistent with facial paresis. Her past medical history was significant for hepatitis c infection, coronary artery disease, and hypertriglyceridemia. She had a 15 pack-year smoking history and denied both alcohol and drug abuse. She had never received a blood transfusion and was hiv negative. physical examination disclosed a tender, swollen, and erythematous lower lip with induration, oozing, and crusting (Figure 1). Pinpoint openings evident throughout the lip surface exuded a clear, sticky, mucoid secretion. tongue, parotid glands, and regional lymph nodes were normal. The working diagnosis was angioedema secondary to lisinopril. The presumptive offending drug was discontinued, and conservative therapy (topical clobetasol ointment, oral ranitidine, and oral fexofenadine) was initiated. Despite treatment, signs and symptoms persisted unabated. One week after initial presentation, a punch biopsy of her lower lip was taken to rule out granulomatous cheilitis and sarcoidosis. Histopathology included diffuse lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, minimal microabscess formation, and notable absence of granulomata. There was neither hypertrophy nor detectable abnormality of the salivary glands, with the exception of infiltrating mononuclear cells. Based on the clinical history and compatible pathologic findings, a diagnosis of cheilitis glandularis was made. Specifically, crusting and erosion clinically suggested a diagnosis of the superficial suppurative subtype of cheilitis glandularis. The patient received oral penicillin (dicloxacillin, 1.0 g/d) combined with oral fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin, 1.0 g/d). Within 2 weeks of starting the antibiotics, the lip swelling significantly decreased (Figure 2) and the patient was left with a mildly indurated nodule at the labial commissure. Following a 4-week course of continued antibiotic treatment, the lip returned to near baseline state. At both 6-month and 1-year follow-up visits, the lip remained normal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1428571428571keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/19. cheilitis glandularis: a clinical marker for both malignancy and/or severe inflammatory disease of the oral cavity.We report the case of an 84-year-old white male who underwent vermilionectomy for removal of a tumor, which proved to be squamous cell carcinoma. Chelitis glandularis related to marked actinic damage was noted at a subsequent visit. The presence of chelitis glandularis should be investigated for the presence of neoplasia, immunosuppression, or inflammatory diseases related to extremely poor oral hygiene.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/19. cheilitis glandularis: report of a case affecting the upper lip.cheilitis glandularis is a rare disorder characterized by swelling of the lip with hyperplasia of labial salivary glands, typically in the lower lip of adult males. A definitive cause and treatment for this disorder have not yet been established. Herein is reported a case of cheilitis glandularis affecting the upper lip with nodules, treated by surgical excision with good post-surgical results.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/19. cheilitis glandularis: a pediatric case report.cheilitis glandularis is a rare disorder, usually affecting the lower lip of adults. This case involved both lips of an adolescent male. A familial history of the condition may have contributed to the involvement of both lips, and may reinforce the importance of hereditary tendency in the development of cheilitis glandularis. Emotional disturbance and poor oral hygiene also had a role in the disorder in this case, which was successfully treated with surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/19. Concurrent anomalies: cheilitis glandularis and double lip. Report of a case.Double lip and cheilitis glandularis are uncommon anomalies involving the minor salivary glands of the lip. A unique case of concurrent double lip and cheilitis glandularis is presented. The development, diagnosis, and treatment of both lesions are reviewed.
