Lip reconstruction following resection for tumour or following extensive trauma may pose a challenge. This is more so when the resection is total and a complete lip has to be constructed. We present a case of lip reconstruction following a total resection of the upper lip. The procedure used in this case was a combination of bilateral nasolabial flaps with a submental flap and buccal mucosal graft lining. We believe that this provides an alternative method of total upper lip reconstruction with minimal disruption of the facial aesthesis.

Head and neck reconstruction serves two purposes, namely to restore function and aesthetics. The priority goals for lip reconstruction should be determined before surgery. In cases of large lip defects, maintaining the goal makes lip reconstruction difficult. This is a case report of a 66 year old man who came to ORL-HNS OPD, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya with the main complaint of ulcers on the upper lip since one year ago accompanied by pain. A mass biopsy result on the right vestibule in Malang on October 11, 2016 showed adenosquamous cell carcinoma. The patient planned to have a wide excision and reconstruction of the lip defect. Wide excision and lip reconstruction was performed on 15 September 2016. Total resection of the upper lip was performed up to the vestibule of the nose. The results showed that squamous cell carcinoma was poorly differentiated. The evaluation after myocutaneous flap surgery was well combined, there were no signs of inflammation or infection. Patients can open their mouths, eat, drink and speak without complaint. The patient then received regular chemoradiotherapy two weeks after surgery.

A 51 year old male with a history of right facial numbness developed progressive upper lip swelling for one year, but an MRI of the head was unremarkable. A wide local excision of the upper lip was performed and pathology revealed a 1.7 cm mass, poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with perineural invasion. Surgical margins were free of tumor. Two months postoperatively, a hybrid PET-CT of the whole body was performed due to the persistent right facial numbness. The CT portion identified an equivocal lesion at the base of the right orbit correlating to the right infraorbital nerve. However, the PET-CT image revealed avid uptake in this location suggesting perineural invasion which was confirmed with biopsy of the right infraorbital nerve demonstrating carcinoma. Subsequently, the patient was treated with Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy (IMRT) using MRI fusion for proper delineation of the right infraorbital nerve to its origin in the base of skull. This case exemplifies the superiority of hybrid PET-CT over CT or MRI alone in head and neck imaging which can lead to significant impact on management for patients with head and neck cancer.
