Popis: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a malignant tumor related to chronic exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, affecting basal layer skin cells. It affects mainly white people, above 40 years old, in the head and neck region. Therapies include surgical excision, Mohs surgery, and ablation laser therapy. An 85-year-old white male patient, a former smoker and chronic alcoholic, was diagnosed with BCC in vermilion of the lower lip (2017) and in follow-up after surgical excision. He developed prostate cancer (1998) and left parotid gland (2012), treated surgically. The tumor was treated with 66 cGy in 2015. The treatment included sealing of the residual root of tooth 32, endodontically treated and without lesion and, under antibiotic coverage, extraction of teeth 12 and 17 due to infectious foci. Subsequently, upper and lower removable prosthesis will be made. Onco-odontological management should be individualized, treating oral complications and contributing to improve prognosis, survival, and quality of life.
