Resumo: Purpose: The aim of this paper is to briefly review and discuss the literature about KA and present a case report with a 2-year follow-up of the removal of a KA lesion in the upper lip. Case description: A 53-year-old woman complained of a painless, aesthetically unpleasant brownish, hard lesion in the cutaneous area of the upper lip. The lesion had grown rapidly in the last 30 days (size: ~10×5 mm), and was associated with a hot waxing hair removal. Surgical excision was the treatment chosen in order to differentiate the lesion from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). An oval-shaped incision was created with an in-depth wedge shape for the removal of the lesion and better approximation of the edges after synthesis. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of KA. After 2 years, the patient was completely satisfied with the treatment, and no scar was evident. Conclusion: Due to the clinical difficulty in differentiating KA from SCC and the risk for formation of an aesthetically unpleasant scar upon spontaneous resolution of KA, surgical removal might be considered the treatment of choice for a solitary KA.

Descrição do caso: Mulher com 53 anos queixava-se de lesão indolor, esteticamente desagradável, dura e de coloração marrom na área cutânea do lábio superior. A lesão havia crescido rapidamente nos últimos 30 dias (tamanho: ~10×5 mm), e estava associada à remoção de pêlos com cera quente. Excisão cirúrgica foi o tratamento escolhido para diferenciar a lesão de carcinoma espinocelular (CEC). Uma incisão em forma oval aprofundada em forma de cunha foi realizada para remoção da lesão e melhor aproximação das bordas após a síntese. A análise histopatológica confirmou o diagnóstico de CA. Após 2 anos, a paciente estava completamente satisfeita com o tratamento, e nenhuma cicatriz era evidente. Conclusão: Devido à dificuldade na diferenciação clínica entre CA e CEC, e o risco de formação de cicatriz esteticamente desagradável quando da resolução espontânea do CA, a remoção cirúrgica pode ser considerada o tratamento de escolha para CA solitário.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2012-08-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/10626Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 27 No. 3 (2012); 242 - 245Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 27 n. 3 (2012); 242 - 2451980-65230102-9460reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/10626/8457Machado, Heloisa HarAlves, Alessandro MennaGomes, Ana Paula NeutzlingTorriani, Marcos Antonioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T15:47:02Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/10626Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T15:47:02Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
