A rare upper lip skin tumor, cutaneous leiomyosarcoma, was initially misdiagnosed as basal cell carcinoma. Surgical excision and reconstruction were successful, with no recurrence after two years.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous leiomyosarcomas are rare soft tissue tumors.
  • Upper lip skin is an unusual location for this type of sarcoma.
  • Accurate diagnosis can be challenging, with potential for clinical misidentification.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old patient presented with a tumor on the upper lip skin.
  • Clinical diagnosis suggested basal cell carcinoma.
  • Histological examination confirmed cutaneous leiomyosarcoma.

Findings:

  • The leiomyosarcoma was treated with Mohs surgery for complete tumor removal.
  • Reconstruction involved a nasolabial flap and a full-thickness skin graft.
  • A two-year follow-up showed no signs of tumor recurrence or metastasis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of histological confirmation for lip tumors.
  • Mohs surgery is an effective treatment for cutaneous leiomyosarcoma.
  • Successful reconstruction is achievable for lip defects following sarcoma excision.
