Carcinome spinocellulaire de la levre inferieure: Sur cicatrice de lupus erythemateux chronique

Abstract

Epidermoïd carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the lips.
They often develop on precancerous lesions. Leukoplasia is the most frequent precancerous lesion. We report a case of a 35 years old man, who suffered from discoid lupus erythematous since 20 years; and wasn't treated
from. He consulted for a squamous ulceration of the under lip, developed from one year. The biopsy concluded to an epidermoïd carcinoma.
He was treated with surgical excision with reconstruction and homolateral triangular recovery.

Keywords: Squamous cell carcinoma, epidermoïd carcinoma, discoid lupus erythematosus, precancerous lesion.
