Abstract

The case report of a 61 years patient is presented, with a history of active smoking who was referred from his health area to the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, due to an injury in the red border of the upper lip whose clinical and histopathological exams revealed that it was a squamous-cell carcinoma.  During the surgical treatment a modification of the Bernard-Burow technique was applied that allowed to avoid the loss of the subunit corresponding to the filtrum and the asymmetry of the labial corners, resulting from the traditional method.
