Abstract

Five years after a kidney transplant and immunosuppressive therapy a 42-year-old woman had squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip with an innocent appearance. We present this as the first case of lip squamous cell carcinoma in a kidney transplant recipient to be reported in the dental literature. We review the medical literature.
