Abstract		Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare disease, characterized by a triad of swelling of the lip, facial nerve paralysis and fissured tongue. All three signs are rarely present. This paper describes a case of 47-year-old female with fully expressed MRS and positive serologic results for Borrelia burgdorferi. Histopatologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of granulomatous cheilitis. After application of systemic corticosteroid and accompaying antibiotic treatment with doxiciklin we achieved significant reduction of swelling of the lip.
Summary		Melkersson-Rosenthalov sindrom (MRS) je redka bolezen, ki jo opredeljuje trias znakov: oteklina ustnice, ohromitev obraznega živca in razbrazdan jezik. Le v redkih primerih so prisotni vsi znaki bolezni. Prispevek opisuje 47-letno bolnico s polno izraženim MRS in pozitivnimi serološkimi preiskavami na Borrelio burgdorferi. Histopatološka preiskava je potrdila diagnozo granulomatozni heilitis. Po sistemskem zdravljenju s kortikosteroidom in antibiotikom doksiciklinom je prišlo do pomembnega zmanjšanja otekline.
