Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a rare disorder with varied etiological, immunological and infectious mechanisms implicated and is believed to be a umbrella term which includes Melkersson Rosethal syndrome (MRS). We describe a 17 year old female who was diagnosed with OFG and was successfully treated with a combination of minocycline and clofazimine without oral steroids with significant improvement within 1 month of therapy.
