Summary : The cause of Melkersson‐Rosenthal syndrome, a granulomatous, inflammatory disease is still unknown. Many treatments have been tried with variable and often disappointing results. We report the case of a 31‐year‐old woman affected by Melkersson‐Rosenthal syndrome, who has been successfully treated with lymecycline, after variable results with steroids alone or combined with antihistamines, sulphasalazine and clofazimine. |
