Which syndrome is characterized by fissured tongue, granulomatous cheilitis, and facial paralysis?

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome
Sturge-Weber syndrome
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
Ramsay Hunt syndrome

The correct answer is: Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is the only correct answer because it is the only one that includes all three symptoms mentioned in the question fissured tongue, granulomatous cheilitis, and facial paralysis. Sturge-Weber syndrome is characterized by a port-wine stain on the face, seizures, and neurological impairments, but does not include the listed symptoms. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is characterized by polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, but does not include the listed symptoms. Ramsay Hunt syndrome is characterized by facial paralysis and a rash in the ear, but does not include the other two listed symptoms.
