Abstract
- Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare multisystem rheumatic autoimmune disease involving the skin, connective tissue, and internal organs. Individuals with SSc are at increased risk of cancer. We herein contribute by reporting a case of carcinoma in situ affecting the lower lip and labial mucosa of a 56-year-old Brazilian female patient, which apparently represents the first case reported in Latin America. Surgical resection of the lesion was performed. After a 2-year follow-up, the patient has shown no evidence of recurrence. According to a literature review in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases on SSc-related oral and oropharyngeal cancer, 11 cases have been documented hitherto. Reports of oral carcinoma in individuals with SSc are rare. Clinicians should conduct regular examinations of the oral mucosa of these individuals to permit an early diagnosis, as done in the present case.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
