Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor-induced angioedema is typically easily recognizable in the emergency department.

We present of a case of an 80-year-old man with angioedema of the lower lip that had regressed prior to significant progression of right sided angioedema of the tongue and oropharynx.
