Lip carcinoma is a relatively unique malignant disease because the lip is a junctional structure. The lip is bounded externally by the facial skin and it is in continuity with the buccal mucosa of the oral cavity. The lymphatic drainage of the upper and lower lips is primarily directed to the mandibular group of lymph nodes. To a lesser extent, drainage may go to submental intraparotid, or internal jugular lymph nodes. Lip carcinoma is almost exclusively a squamous cell carcinoma, the major etiologic factor being prolonged iar exposure. Treatment for lip carcinoma is usually surgical, in the form of full-tickness excision. Neck dissection is also performed when clinically palpable lymph nodes are present.
唇癌是一种相对独特的恶性疾病，因为唇部是一个交界性结构。唇部外部由面部皮肤界定，并与口腔颊黏膜相连。上下唇的淋巴引流主要导向下颌淋巴结群。在较小程度上，引流可能会至颏下、腮腺内或颈内淋巴结。唇癌几乎完全是鳞状细胞癌，主要病因是长期暴露于阳光。唇癌的治疗通常是手术治疗，采用全层切除的形式。当临床上可触及淋巴结时，也会进行颈部清扫术。
