Area of Science:

Background:

Cheilitis glandularis simplex is a rare benign inflammatory condition affecting the lower lip.
It is characterized by hypertrophy and ectopia of the labial salivary glands.
Chronic sun exposure is a suspected contributing factor.

Observation:

A case of cheilitis glandularis simplex in a 65-year-old male is described.
Clinical presentation included an everted lower lip with enlarged salivary glands secreting mucus.
Histological examination revealed epithelial dysplasia, sclerosed glands, ductal dilation, inflammation, and collagen degeneration.

Findings:

The findings suggest a solar etiology for the observed cheilitis glandularis simplex.
Histological features indicated significant epithelial dysplasia.

The condition was successfully treated with surgical excision via vermilionectomy.

Implications:

Cheilitis glandularis simplex has a high association with severe epithelial dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma.
Surgical intervention, specifically vermilionectomy, is the treatment of choice for this condition.
Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial to prevent malignant transformation.
