Carcinoma espinocelular infiltrante. (Spanish)

INFILTRATING SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA. (English)

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of epidermal origin, with typical characteristics such as: rapidly progressive growth, anaplasia, localized tissue damage and a generator of metastases. The case of a patient who consulted for the rapidly progressive growth of an ulcerative and vegetant tumoral mass located on the lower lip, which compromised the right labial commissure, is discussed. The defect required radical excision of the tumoral mass with lower lip reconstruction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
