Two Cases of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lower Lip Treated with Liquid Nitrogen

Abstract
|
|
|
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip can be developed by a number of underlying etiologic factors, the most outstanding of which is solar irradiation, and is considerably more aggresive and has a much higher incidence of metastatic spread.
Its
early
detection and effective treatment afford a high cure rate. Cryosurgery is a simple, efficient and effective method of treatment of skin cancer and is nor a widely accepted modality for the treatment of these lesions.
Two patients (67-year-old male and 57-year-old female) were presented with solitary or two masses on the lower lip without regional lymphadenopathy. These two cases showed clinical and histopathologic findings of squamous cell carcinoma. They
were
successfully treated by cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen without any significant side effects.
