The most important potentially malignant lesion of labial squamous cell carcinoma affects actinic cheilitis. It found in people whose occupational activities related to chronic sun exposure. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lip accounts for approximately 20% of all oral carcinomas with the lower lip more involved than the upper lip. It is more common in men, reaching its peak during its sixth and seventh decade, and is more frequent in the lower lip. KEY WORDS: actinic cheilitis, lip Carcinoma, oral diagnosis. Resumen la queilitis actínica es considerada la lesión potencialmente maligna más importante del carcinoma de células escamosas labial. Se encuentra comúnmente en individuos cuyas actividades ocupacionales están relacionadas con la exposición crónica al sol. El carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) del labio representa aproximadamente 20% de todos los carcinomas orales con el labio inferior más comúnmente involucrado que el labio superior. Es más común en los hombres, alcanzando su punto máximo durante su sexta y séptima década, y es más frecuente en el labio inferior. PALABRAS CLAVE: queilitis actínica, carcinoma de labio, diagnóstico oral.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most prevalent oral cancer within the population, representing approximately 90% of all oral neoplasms, and the lingual location is the most common site of the same, which usually presents with few symptoms which originates from presenting in advanced stages at the time of diagnosis. A case of an adult patient with a clinical and histopathological diagnosis of lingual carcinoma is reported. The study of these patients is important since they must remain in dental surveillance, not only in an early diagnosis of suspected premalignant and malignant oral lesions and timely treatment as appropriate, which improves their prognosis and quality of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
