Epidermoid Carcinoma is the most frecuent malignant tumor of the lips. The lips represent an important area of interest because of the frequency of tumoral pathology and because it involves the natural sphincter of the oral cavity. Its reconstruction is a challenge for the surgeon, trying to achieve good results, not only functional but also aesthetic. Many techniques have been described for their reconstruction. We follow one based on the anatomical preservation of the facial vasculonervous pediculus that keeps the irrigation and the future functioning of the lip. In this work, we present its clinical application.

Keywords : Epidermoid Carcinoma; Lips; Karapandzic Technique.
