Abstract
The authors present an unusual case of invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) developing in a pre-existing plasmacytosis of the lip. The roles of chronic inflammation, immunosuppression, and smoking in the pathogenesis of this tumour are briefly discussed. The authors highlight a significant side effect of the use of immunosuppressive drugs in benign conditions. 2009 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
