Abstract


ABSTRACT

Actinic Cheilitis and Lip Squamous Cells Carcinoma are pathologies that may be associated with chronic exposure to ultraviolet rays. Individuals who do not use sunscreen or caps and who carry occupations in which they have prolonged contact with the sun's rays are considered to be at high risk for the development of potentially malignant disorders or Lip Squamous Cells Carcinoma. The lower lip is an anatomical site that is easy to access for the examination and allows direct vision of the structures, which facilitates the identification of initial lesions, making possible the early diagnosis of oral pathological conditions. This article aims to report a clinical case of lower lip epidermoid carcinoma in a male patient, construction worker, leucoderma, 66 years old. Clinical and histopathological characteristics will be discussed, as well as the importance of education programs for the population regarding risk factors and prevention of these changes since it is a high incidence of Actinic Cheilitis and Lip Squamous Cells Carcinoma in the brazilian population.
