Présentation Clinique

 

Clinical Setting

F 84 ans Lésion kératosique de la lèvre inférieure

 

F 84 yo Scaly, burning lesion of the lower lip

 

 

 

 

Diagnostic Proposé:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheilite actinique lichénoide, acantholytique

Proposed Diagnosis:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actinic cheilitis, lichenoid, acantholytic.

 

Arguments:

  • Oral lesions (chronic actinic cheilitis) tend to affect the middle of the lower lip and present as burning or painful scaly lesions.
  • Metastases, however, are rare except for those arising on the ear and lip, which are often associated with more aggressive behavior
  • Sometimes actinic keratoses are atrophic and occasionally, due to marked acantholysis, an acantholytic or pseudoglandular pattern results, which may show a marked resemblance to lesions of Darier's disease (acantholytic actinic keratoses).
  • The dermis underlying and adjacent to the keratosis often shows solar elastosis and vascular ectasia. A lymphohistiocytic infiltrate is commonly evident and sometimes this is associated with the features of an interface dermatitis including basal cell liquefactive degeneration and apoptosis (lichenoid actinic keratosis).
