Sažetak
Fifthy-five patients with malignant epithelial tumors were surgically treated. There were 69% of patients with basal cell carcinoma and 31% with squamous cell carcinoma. Forty-one percent of squamous cell carcinomas were on the lower lip. The majority of the patients were farmers and housewives. The most common localization was the facial area (62%). In all cases, the lesions were smaller than 2 cm. In 73% of the cases, surgical procedure consisted of excision and covering of the defect by a local rotation flap. Surgical treatment according to Karapandžić was performed in five cases, and wedge shaped excision and sutures in two patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip. In 4 cases of malignant epithelial tumor, excision was performed and the defect covered by a free skin graft matching full depth of the skin. In 15% of the cases, excision of the lesion, accompanied by direct sutures, was performed. In the cases of basal cell carcinoma, excision was performed 5 mm from the edge of the visible lesion. In the cases of squamous cell carcinoma, excision was performed 10 mm from the edge of the visible lesion. Pathohistologic examination showed that the edges of the preparates were clean in all cases. The patients were controlled during a period ranging from 6 months to 3 years. No relapses have been reported to date.
