Abstract:
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma on the lip is a very rare disease, consisting of epidermoid and mucus-producing cells histologically. A 47 year old female had had an asymptomatic, palpable, bean-sized nodule on the center of her upper lip for 2 years. Histological findings showed multiple oval nests consisting of epidermoid & clear cells and cystic spaces filled with faintly eosinophilic amorphous material in a fibrotic background throughout the dermis, subcutis, and muscular layer After a diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, Mohs micrographic surgery was performed for complete removal, and A - T flap with M plasty was designed for appropriate repair.
