Association of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of lower lip with Xeroderma Pigmentosa – A Devastating disease

Abstract: ABSTRACT:-Xeroderma Pigmentosa is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disease characterised by inability to repair DNA damage caused by UV light. Those affected are extremely sensitive to the UV portion of the light. Affected individuals rapidly develop skin atrophy, splotchy pigmentation, telangectasias and skin cancers. These patients have increased propensity for UV radiation induced mutagenesis. Neoplasms occur commonly in the skin exposed areas. Basal cell carcinomas being the most commonly encountered v… Show more

“…Specifically, one limbal SCC and one pigmented mass in limbus, 29,47 two melanomas on medial canthus 21 and conjunctiva, 22 and multiple SCCs on the conjunctiva 17,42,46,76 have been reported in pediatric XP patients. The majority of XP patients with oral mucosal lesions included in this review (110/130, 84.6%) also exhibited ocular findings, such as keratitis, blindness, and symblepharon 17–19,21–24,29–31,40,41,43,45–48,67 . It is worth noting that our literature review focused exclusively on oral mucosal findings in pediatric patients and did not include a specific search for other mucosal areas, such as the genital mucosa or ocular areas.…”
