Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip is a common malignant tumor originating from oral cancer. However, unlike other areas, the lips hold significant functional and aesthetic importance as a part of the face. As a result, a tailored approach based on the tumor's size, type, and location is essential. The Karapandzic flap is especially suitable for reconstructing lesions located on the lip, particularly when the size of the cancer is large and other surgical treatments like free flaps are not feasible. It allows for extensive resection beyond the size of the lower lip. In this case, considering the patient's overall condition, successful reconstruction of the lower lip was achieved using the Karapandzic flap.
