An 18-year-old male was referred to our institution with a labial swelling of 45 days
of evolution located on the upper lip. The patient was healthy, without systemic diseases
or mental disabilities. No relevant family medical history was recorded during anamnesis.
The patient mentioned that the lesion began as a painful small inflammation of the
lip that increased in size. The patient consulted a general physician, who ordered
laboratory tests to rule out syphilis diagnosis. Subsequently, the patient was treated
with amoxicillin for 1 month with no improvement of the lesion. Labial discomfort
became more intense, presenting episodes of pus discharge and suppuration of a whitish
fluid.
