Abstract
Angioedema is defined as self-limited, localized swelling. The swelling is asymmetric, non-pitting, and non-tender. Common locations of swelling include periorbital area, lips, tongue, extremities, and bowel wall. A 54-year-old woman visited our hospital with the clinical complaint of left maxillary swelling. Swelling of the left maxillary area was diffuse and temperature of the involved area was normal. No infectious source was found on panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography. After considering the patient’s medical history and assessing clinical examination, we suspected angioedema and administered corticosteroid only. In the oral and maxillofacial area, proper diagnosis and prompt treatment of angioedema is important because angioedema of the tongue or larynx may lead to airway obstruction or a life-threatening condition.
