Plasma cell cheilitis is a rare inflammatory disorder of the lip with a characteristic band‐like infiltrate of plasma cells in the upper dermis. Differential diagnosis should consider allergic/irritant contact cheilitis, candidiasis, syphilis, Queyrat's erythroplasia, granulomatous cheilitis, plasmoacanthoma, plasmacytoma, squamous cell carcinoma and exfoliative or factitious cheilitis. We observed plasma cell cheilitis in a 60‐year‐old Caucasian female who had a partial response to topical steroids and oral griseofulvin.
