| Resumo : | A 52-year-old male patient, heterosexual, was referred to the Department of Stomatology at Passo Fundo University, Brazil, complaining of an ulcer in the upper lip. According to the patient, the lesion appeared spontaneously in the upper lip and evolved during 14 days. Simultaneously, a second ulcer on the nose also appeared. No history of facial trauma was reported. The patient stated that he worked as a farmer, constantly exposed to sunlight. Clinically, both ulcers presented with indurated borders. They measured 1.2 cm (center of the upper lip) and 5 mm (tip of the nose) [Table/Fig-1a]. In addition, the surrounding mucosa of the lip ulcer was normal, but the skin around the nose ulcer was erythematous. There was no increase in local temperature and the patient reported no pain on palpation. Intraorally, no lesions were observed. Cervical lymph nodes were not altered. The clinical hypothesis included actinic cheilitis, squamous cell carcinoma and bacterial or fungal infections. |
