Diagnosis and Treatment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Lower Lip: Case Report
A 67-year-old woman attended the stomatology clinic complaining of a wound on the lip, painful, with an evolution of 3 months. During this period, she was treated by a dermatologist for herpes simplex, but without resolution. Anamnesis indicated systemic arterial hypertension and previous stroke; she denied smoking or performing activities causing sun exposure. A physical examination revealed an exophytic ulcer on the lower lip with a crusted necrotic background, indurated rounded borders, soft base, 1.5 cm in size, and loss of the mucocutaneous line.
