Asymptomatic bilateral facial swelling – The Journal of the American Dental Association

by adminjay


A 54-year-old Black woman sought treatment at the oral medicine clinic at the School
of Dental Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania for evaluation of bilateral facial
swelling. The patient endorsed that the swelling had been present for the past 18
months but denied any associated symptoms, including pain, drainage, facial weakness,
facial numbness, or any history of facial swelling. The patient denied constitutional
symptoms, including fatigue, fever, chills, or unintentional weight loss. She denied
history of trauma to the face and endorsed that the swelling had increased slowly
over time. The patient denied alleviating or exacerbating factors. She reported that
the amount of swelling did not change with oral nutritional intake. The patient denied
a history of head and neck cancer and head and neck radiation therapy. Her medical
history included hypertension, anxiety, and insomnia. Medications included metoprolol,
nifedipine, and olmesartan. Social history included smoking 6 to 7 cigarettes per
day for the past 15 years and consuming 1 to 2 alcoholic drinks per month without
any history of alcohol abuse or recreational drug use. The review of systems was negative
after detailed evaluation.
