Resumo: A 53-year-old white male with complaint of tongue alteration noted by the general dentist. On clinical examination, besides the lingual lesion, other changes were observed: multiple red and blackened papules on the facial skin and atrophy of the lower lip, with loss of the interface between the skin and the labial mucosa, superficial and color changes, suggestive of actinic lesions (keratosis and cheilitis). Incisional biopsies were performed, and the histopathological reports were of the presence of epithelial atypia with absence of malignancy in the tongue and compatible with microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma in the lip. The patient was ex-smoker and had a history of chronic occupational sun exposure. This report highlights the importance of a thorough anamnesis and physical examination of the lips, often neglected by dentists. Thus, incisional biopsy and histopathological examination in actinic cheilitis, when indicated, are essential for the early detection of lip cancer.
