This patient arrived during my last trip. He had a lip lesion that had been growing for about a year. The lesion occupied at least 50% of the lower lip. We performed a simple wedge resection and the results were very good. The lips are very forgiving. They are elastic so they tolerate a large resection yet still look and function normally.
The pathology was invasive squamous cell carcimona. We will keep a close on on the lip to make sure there is no recurrence.
