“…2 In addition, with respect to the anatomical site, a division exists between both tumors, with squamous cell carcinoma commonly involving the lower lip, and BCC the upper lip. [1][2] There are few reports in the literature of BCC on the vermilion area. Although less common, primary BCCs located on the inner mucosa of the lip, have also been described.…”

The vermilion and vermilion border are rare locations for basal cell carcinoma. We report a case of a 72-year-old woman, who presented with an asymptomatic erosive lesion on the vermilion area of the upper lip. Histopathology examination was consistent with basal cell carcinoma. We suggest that basal cell carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of erosive/ulcerative lesions arising on the vermilion area of the lip.

“…The therapeutic approach seems to be the same as for BCC in other locations, such as wide excision or Mohs micrographic surgery. 1,4 Descriptions point to a good prognosis after treatment, with no reported cases of recurrences or metastasis.…”
