Abstract
- Although there are many methods for the treatment of actinic cheilitis including cryotherapy, vermilionectomy, and topical fluorouracil, the choice of treatment should be determined after assessment of the lesion and its location. A 67-year old woman developed actinic chelitis, where a thick keratotic plaque occupied a half of her lower lip. Surgical removal of the lesion was difficult because of its size, and repeated cryotherapy treatment also failed. The lesion was then successfully treated by a the topical application of combined fluorouracil and salicylic acid solution.
