1/37. Labial adenocarcinoma after treatment with cyclosporin a in a patient with panuveitis.PURPOSE: To report a case of labial basal cell adenocarcinoma in a patient with uveitis on treatment with cyclosporin A. METHOD: Case report. A 73-year-old woman with panuveitis and retinal vasculitis presented with a lump on her lip after 52 months of treatment with cyclosporin A. RESULT: Excision biopsy showed a labial adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSION: Malignancy can occur after long-term cyclosporin A treatment for uveitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/37. Testicular embryonal carcinoma metastatic to the labial mucosa of the upper lip.An unusual case of testicular embryonal carcinoma metastatic to the labial mucosa of the upper lip is reported. The clinical features and the management of the metastatic oral lesion are presented. In patients with known systemic malignancy, oral swellings may be an indication of a metastatic deposit.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/37. Primary reconstruction of defects in the upper and lower lips following tumor excision.Three cases of basal cell carcinoma and epithelioma in the upper and lower lips are reported. The defects in the upper lip following tumor excision were repaired with an application of Burow's technique. Martin's method, after modification of Bernard cheiloplasty, was used for the repair of the lower lip defect. The methods proved to be quite effective in providing excellent aesthetic results. No disturbance was noted in the activity of the repaired upper lips. The labial function, however, associated with the orbicularis oris was left impaired in the newly formed lower lip.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/37. Reconstruction of total lower lip, labial commissure and palatomaxillary defect with composite island cheek flap.Functional and cosmetic restoration of total lower lip, labial commissure, and palatomaxillary defects can be achieved by using multiform flaps. The possibility of reconstruction of these areas with composite island cheek flap is presented. The flap was used in three patients who were surgically treated between 1993 and 1998. In one female patient, total lower lip and chin defect was restored with a small contralateral platysma muscle cutaneous flap. The functional and cosmetic result was achieved with composite island cheek flap. In the other two cases, reconstruction was performed without another flap. Composite island cheek flap is supplied with bloody by the facial artery and vein, and contains mucous membrane, muscle and skin of the cheek. In two cases, the flap was formed by the anterior part of the buccal muscle, and in the case with the reconstruction of labial commissure, the greater and lesser zygomatic muscles with levator muscle of the angle of mouth were used. By freeing the blood vessels from the surrounding structures, isolation and transsection of minor vessel branches allowed straightening of the tortuous main vessels. With this technique, excellent functional and satisfactory cosmetic results were achieved in a single act, with minimal morbidity for labial commissure, and total lower lip or palatomaxillary defect reconstruction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/37. New technique of one-stage reconstruction of a large full-thickness defect in the upper lip: bilateral reverse composite nasolabial flap.Lips are important features because of their location, function, and aesthetics. Reconstruction of the upper lip presents the surgeon with one of the greatest challenges. Total upper lip reconstruction is a frequent and demanding procedure, and its difficulty is related to the size and the site of the loss of the aesthetic subunits such as the Cupid's bow and the philtral columns.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/37. Malignant melanoma of the lip spreading in a pagetoid manner into the minor salivary glands.We describe a malignant melanoma of the lower lip that upon recurrence extended in a pagetoid manner into the ducts of the oral minor salivary glands. immunohistochemistry with antibodies to MART-1 and HMB-45 confirmed that the atypical cells in the ducts of the salivary glands were indeed melanoma cells. Pathologists involved in staging of oral melanoma are urged to look out for this previously unreported mode of spread of labial malignant melanoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/37. A maxillary lip prosthesis retained by an obturator with attachments: A clinical report.This article describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of small maxillary lip and maxilla defects with a lip prosthesis attached to an obturator. The definitive obturator prosthesis was designed with 3 plastic ball attachments on the labial surface that provided adequate retention for the lip prosthesis. The thin margin of the lip prosthesis ensured that it adapted well to functional movements.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/37. Desmoplastic malignant melanoma of the lip: a report of 6 cases and review of the literature.Desmoplastic malignant melanoma is a rare neoplasm consisting primarily of spindle-shaped melanoma cells embedded in a fibrous stroma, with approximately 6% of cases occurring in the lip. A literature search revealed that most reported cases occur in sun-exposed areas in older men. Few cases of desmoplastic malignant melanoma of the lip in young people (in their mid-twenties) have been described. We report 6 previously undocumented cases of labial desmoplastic malignant melanoma occurring in young individuals and review 20 cases from the literature. physicians should consider the possibility of desmoplastic malignant melanoma in young people who present with atypical lip lesions, which on histopathologic analysis demonstrate spindle-cell hyperplasia. Although this diagnosis is rare and there have not been reports of such patients in the literature thus far, our findings should alert clinicians to the possibility of desmoplastic malignant melanoma as a diagnosis for lip lesions in young people.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/37. Microcystic adnexal carcinoma: an unusual cause of swelling and paraesthesia of the lower lip.Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is an uncommon, recently described, cutaneous adnexal malignant neoplasm, associated with significant morbidity as a consequence of its propensity for perineural invasion. The present report details the clinical and histological features of MAC in a young female presenting with lower labial swelling and paraesthesia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/37. Crab-pincers style facial artery flap.To reconstruct defects as large as 5 cm in diameter in the region extending from the columella and anterior nasal floor to the upper lip, we use a crab-pincers style facial artery (CPFA) flap technique combining nasolabial flaps and cheek advancement flaps. In the CPFA flap, the bifurcation of the facial artery allows the angle between the nasolabial flap and the cheek advancement flap to be freely altered in the manner of crab pincers. By combining the four leaves of bilateral CPFA flaps at the centre, appropriate reconstruction of the three-dimensional structures surrounding the columella can be achieved. In addition, this method requires only one operation to complete extensive reconstruction. The method does not result in adverse scarring or scar contracture. After the procedure,appropriate moustache growth gives a natural impression and conceals philtral distortion. We consider the CPFA flap to be very useful for reconstructing large defects in the central facial region.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = labial (Clic here for more details about this article) |
