SUMMARY

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the lip is uncommon relative to other cutaneous sites for BCC, such as the central face or scalp. A female predisposition and predilection for the upper lip have been previously documented. A retrospective analysis of patients treated for BCC of the lip was undertaken within the department of Radiation Oncology, Westmead Hospital, Sydney. Twenty patients were identified; 12 women and 8 men. The majority (15/20) had T~1~ lesions of the upper lip (17/20). Eleven patients were referred for radiotherapy alone and nine for adjuvant radiotherapy following either incomplete excision or local recurrence. With a mean follow up of 36 months no patient has recurred following either definitive or adjuvant radiotherapy. Despite the majority of BCCs of the lip being amenable to surgery fractionated external beam radiotherapy remains an option especially when functional and/or cosmetic concerns are an issue. We present the findings from this small case series and use our findings to illustrate the role of radiotherapy in treating BCC of the lip.

## Abstract Basal cell carcinomas may attain giant proportions due primarily to recurrence or because the tumour is neglected. We report the case of a 66‐year‐old man who presented with a bleeding, polypoid, cutaneous tumour located on the left shoulder region of 13Β years duration. The man had not

## BACKGROUND. Perineural spread is a well-documented feature of cutaneous tumors and may portend a more aggressive course. The incidence of perineural invasion in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is reportedly 1%. The authors sought to determine whether perineural spread occurs more commonly than previo
