ABSTRACT
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip can be developec by a number of underlying etiologic factors, the most outstanding of which is solar irracdiation, and is considerably more aggresive and has a much higher incidence of metastatic spread. Its early detection and effective treatment afford a high cure rate. Cryosurgery is a simple, efficient and effective method of treatment of skin cancer and is now a widely accepted modality for the treatment of these lesions. Two patients(67-year-old male and 57-year-old female) were presented with solitary or two masses on the lower lip without regional lymphadenopathy. These two cases showed clinical and histopathologic findings of squamous cell carcinoma. They were successfully treated by cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen without any significant side effects.
