Abstract
Oro-facial granulomatosis includes a group of disorders which present as a chronic, non-ceasating granulomatous
lesion involving the perioral tissues of face and oral mucosa. This condition was first referred by Mart in 1859, Hubschmann
in 1894 and Luscher in 1949; later, Wiesenfeld in 1985 introduced the term “Oro-facial Granulomatosis” (OFG) which is
characterized by persistent or recurrent soft tissue enlargement and oral ulceration. Hence, it is important to establish the
diagnosis accurately because this condition sometimes is a manifestation of Crohn’s disease or Sarcoidosis. A case of Orofacial
granulomatosis in a 15-year-old male is reported.
