title: Basal-cell carcinoma of the vermilion border of the upper lip. A case report.
abstract: Basal-cell carcinoma mostly occurs in patients of advanced age, between the 5th and the 7th decades of life. The lesion is usually located on areas that have exposure to the sun and is extremely rare on the oral mucosa. A case of basal-cell carcinoma on the vermilion border of the upper lip in a 62-year-old-male is described. An excisional biopsy under local anaesthesia was followed by a radical wedge excision of the upper lip.
