ABSTRACT

The lip is an organ of complex anatomical relationships, great physiological import and significant social, cosmetic and sexual implications. However, this cosmetic subunit is often targeted by malignancies including squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma, the last two of substantial metastatic potential.
Timely detection of these tumors is of the essence, not only in terms of oncologic treatment but also for subsequent reconstruction. However, given its complexity, the lip is a challenging surgical area. Consequently, this paper reviews the anatomy of the lip subunit, classifies its defects by extent and thickness, and suggests reconstruction strategies.
