Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common, sun-induced, pre-malignant lesion with a strong likelihood of progressing to a malignancy. The reported risk of AK progressing to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) varies from less than 1% to 20%. Clinically, induration, pain, large size, marked hyperkeratosis, ulceration, bleeding, rapid growth, and recurrence or persistence may be markers of AK progression into SCC. The risk of SCC metastasizing ranges between 0.5% and 3%. However, SCC of the lip arising from actinic cheilitis is more prone to metastasis than cutaneous SCC, with rates of the former varying between 3% and 20%. Here we report a typical case of SCC from actinic cheilitis with metastasis to the lymph nodes during a 4-year follow-up period. To exclude SCC, we emphasize the need for regular follow-up and prompt evaluation, including careful pathologic examination for actinic cheilitis.
光化性角化病(AK)是一种常见的、由阳光引起的癌前病变,极有可能发展为恶性肿瘤。据报道,AK发展为鳞状细胞癌(SCC)的风险从不到1%到20%不等。临床上,硬结、疼痛、体积大、显著的角化过度、溃疡、出血、快速生长以及复发或持续存在可能是AK发展为SCC的标志。SCC转移的风险在0.5%至3%之间。然而,光化性唇炎引起的唇部SCC比皮肤SCC更容易发生转移,前者的转移率在3%至20%之间。在此我们报告一例典型的光化性唇炎引起的SCC病例,在4年的随访期内发生了淋巴结转移。为排除SCC,我们强调需要定期随访和及时评估,包括对光化性唇炎进行仔细的病理检查。
