title: A case of adenocarcinoma arising in the upper lip.
abstract: A case of adenocarcinoma arising in the lip of a 20-year-old Japanese man is reported. After electro-irradiation therapy with a dose of 30 Gy, one third of the upper lip, including part of the cheek, was excised. Immediate reconstruction using transpositional flaps of the buccal skin and mucosa, and a functional neck dissection were performed. Nineteen months after surgery, there was no local recurrence or distant metastasis, and desirable results were obtained both functionally and cosmetically.
