Rossolimo–Melkersson–Rosenthal syndrome is quite rare in children and adolescents 3–4 to 12–16 years of age. It most commonly occurs as a monosymptom in the form of macrocheilia. The paper reports the causes of the disease, as well as its possible association with herpes simplex virus and staphylococcal infection.
