Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most frequent type of oral cancer. Lip SCC is associated with UV exposure during occupational activities. The objective of this study is to present 1 case of second primary SCC and 1 case of dysplasia after previous SCC on the lower lip. Case 1: A 29-year-old male patient was diagnosed with SCC in the lower lip and was referred to the oncologist. After 4 and a half years, he returned with a moderate dysplasia. Case 2: A 63 year-old-male patient was diagnosed with SCC of the lip and received treatment. After 3 years, he returned with a new primary SCC on the opposite side of the lip. Usually patients with SCC on the lips present actinic cheilitis, which need to be periodically followed up to diagnose early potential new areas of SCC or dysplasia as illustrated in these reports.
