Epidermoid Carcinoma of the Lower Lip and Fanconi's Disease: A Case Report | Asian Journal of Medica

Fanconi's disease (FA) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder that includes the traditional trio of low stature, malformation syndrome, and bone marrow failure. The limbs, spine, skin, kidneys, urinary tract, and otolaryngological sphere are the most common abnormalities. The discovery of 15 genes implicated, whose mutation is responsible for haematological damage and increased neoplastic risk, has been made possible by advances in molecular biology. Patient treatment is multidisciplinary, haematological and non-hematological, and includes screening for organ abnormalities and deficiencies as well as monitoring for precancerous or malignant lesions. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman who was diagnosed with T3 N0 M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip, and whose preoperative examination revealed Fanconi's illness.
