[Critical review of 121 squamous cell epitheliomas of the lip. Role of surgery in the treatment of primary lesions and of the loco-regional lymph nodes].
The Authors report their own experience about carcinoma of the lip and evaluate the results of surgical treatment regarding T and N variables. 121 patients were operated on: 109 of them (90.08%) healed, 7 (5.79%) died. We had 2 local (1.65%) and 3 regional (2.48%) recurrences. Metastases in nodal specimens accounted for 3 patients (11.54%) of the 26 with elective lymphadenectomy. Only 8 (34.78%) of the 23 nodal dissections done because of macroscopic involvement at the operation were found to be histologically involved.
