Abstract
The study involved 18 patients with secondary lymphedema of lips with Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, Granulomatous cheilitis of Miescher, Crohn's disease, chronic odontogenic periapical inflammation. Based on data from clinical and ultrasound examinations it was established the similarity of the clinical picture and course of lymphedema in these diseases. The authors suggest not to consider the secondary lymphedema of lips to be an independent nosological entity.
