Abstract

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the oral cavity, with varying incidence rates across different anatomical sites. Although lip carcinoma is common, involvement of the commissure area is rare. This case report presents a moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma involving the right commissure of the lip. Early identification and prompt management are essential in improving the prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the lip. In cases involving the commissure, surgical excision remains the primary mode of treatment.
