Summary Three cases of histological proven Miescher's granulomatous cheilitis and one case of Melkersson‐Rosenthal syndrome were treated over a 4‐month period. All cases showed histological improvement with clearance of granulomata but persistence of oedema. No side‐effects were reported. Biopsy changes in all four cases are presented.
