ABSTRACT
Sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) is a rare malignancy with distinct carcinomatous and sarcomatous features. SSCCs involving the lung, esophagus bladder, and skin have been reported as rare case reports. It may also occur infrequently in the oral region. Moreover, the lower lip is still one of the rare sites, and such a case has not been reported in Korean literature. An 82-year-old man presented an exophytic protruding, huge, warty crusted lesion on the entire lower lip. The lesion started as a small, tender, erosive papule and suddenly enlarged in recent months.His medical history was unremarkable. A biopsy revealed atypical squamous and sarcomatous components with transition zones between the two cell types. These two cell types also showed characteristic immunohistochemical features. Based on these findings, the lesion was diagnosed as SSCC. The study, including positron emission tomography-computed tomography, showed no metastasis. We recommended surgical excision, but the patient refused therapy.
