Cheilitis glandularis (CG) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology charactarized by inflamation of the minor salivary glands of the lower lip. Clinically, three variants have been described: cheilitis glandularis simplex, cheilitis glandularis suppurativa, and cheilitis glandularis apostematosa. Most cases are diagnosed as the simple form of glandular cheilitis, which is characterized by enlarged excretory ducts, induration, and enlargement of the salivary glands as well as production of a rather mucopurulent saliva. The diagnosis of CG is done with clinical and pathologic correlation. A swollen lip is common in clinical practice, but the differential diagnosis and management of the condition may be challenging. Lip swelling may be related to a local or systemic condition. We hereby report an unusual case of CG of lips in a female patient visited the deparment of Internal Medicine, Ege Univercity. She was being followed up with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and presented with recurrent swelling of the lips repeatedly. She had previously been followed up for angioedema because of recurrent swelling of the lips. The patient's laboratory tests were normal and lip biopsy was consistent with glandular cheilitis. The aim of this article is to discuss the differential diagnosis of glandular cheilitis.

“…It is mainly characterized by swelling of the lip with hyperplasia of the salivary glands; secretion of a clear, thick mucus; and variable inflammation. The etiology and pathogenesis of CG are unknown [1][2][3][4]. Cheilitis glandularis is more common in adult males, although cases have been described in women and children.…”

“…Patients with CG are categorised as being at risk for the development of SCC of the lips [ 8 ]. The cause of this association was seen in the increased surface area and exposure to sunlight of the affected lip [ 8 ]. However, other reports give more weight to the context of genetically determined skin types and the association of CG.…”

Summary:Delayed reconstruction of large lower lip defects after traumatic avulsion is a challenge in medically compromised patients with concomitant cheek skin burn. Combination of orthograde submental transposition flap and anteriorly based ventral rectangular myomucosal tongue flap is useful. The former reconstructs the body of the defect, and the latter masks the red lip, resembling vermilion. In this article, the detailed surgical technique is explained. Literature review of tongue flap and submental flap in the lower lip reconstruction is presented.
