Hi everyone, thanks for posting and for your suggestions. Firstly my profuse apologies, the agency sent me a case description and a set of answers that were not matching! and I wasn't aware of this when I posted the question this morning. i.e. this is not necessarily an oral pathology. However the problem is the same i.e. both and I and Liz have been unable to find any reference to this condition on a French website. There is no context as I wasn't sent the case description and this term was just given as one of a long list of skin conditions for participants to choose from. I contacted the agency, and they have just suggested annular dermatitis which as far as I can see isn't a specific condition. I am wondering if the client has got this wrong (there is a condition - Annular Lichenoid Dermatitis of Youth).

I like the suggestion of "angular" as the adjective. Would fit as a further descriptor of "orofacial granulomatosis".

p.s. you highlight "lip inflammation", well I can find nothing with ring-shaped lesions related to lip inflammation. All I can find is "angular" - a possible typo for "annulaire"?

Perhaps you could list all the symptoms of this condition.

What is bothering me is that I am unable to find "dermite annulaire granulomateuse du sujet jeune" on any French site. Do you have any more references to this phrase on any French site, or do you have a description of the condition itself.
Dermatology is one of the most difficult subjects to translate.
