Cutaneous and lip squamous cell carcinomas in an albinism patient: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the population aged under 30 years reaches only 1% of total cases. We report the first case from Papua, Indonesia, with a double primary SCC in a patient aged just 25 years, with albinism as a risk factor. This case report can hopefully enrich existing knowledge of such tumors.

Case presentation

A 25-year-old Papuan female patient came to the oncology clinic of Jayapura Regional General Hospital with a tumor on the left lower lip and a skin tumor on the right temporal side of the face. The patient noticed that the tumor on the lower lip appeared a few weeks earlier than that on the right temporal skin. Both tumors had grown gradually for 5 years. Both tumors were painless, but for the last 3 months
