title: Actinic cheilitis. Report of a case.
abstract: Actinic cheilitis is not an uncommon disease and it can be an occupational hazard, particularly in those geographic areas with a great deal of sunshine. This condition has definite tendencies toward the development of carcinoma. Careful counseling and observation are necessary for good professional care of these patients, and occasionally vermilionectomy may be indicated.
