Glandular Cheilitis

Glandular Cheilitis

There is a divergence of views on the pathogenesis of glandular cheilitei - some authors believe that is characterized by a salivary hypersecretion and inflammatory changes in the structure of lip salivary glands, sometimes with a family character, other authors believe is due to heterotopic of salivary glands lip structure, the disease has no erditara components and observed a higher frequency in the tropics.
It can occur at any age, being located almost exclusively in the lower lip. The rim is slightly thickened and has many holes through which saliva may protrude.
In more severe forms, the lip is much larger, the surface is covered with scales and crusts, which can be seen in salivary duct openings.
In very severe forms of infection spreads deeper, with abscess and fistula formation. Some authors consider that there is a malignant transformation in squamous cell carcinoma in 20-30% of cases, while other authors deny the existence of malignant transformation.
Treatment consists of excision eliptiaca vermilionectomie or when the lips are much enlarged.
