一名澳洲男子的持久性嘴唇裂口, 被认作干燥, 被诊断为经活体检查后晒伤皮肤癌。
An Australian man’s persistent lip crack, dismissed as dryness, was diagnosed as sun-damaged skin cancer after a biopsy.
持续嘴唇裂口无法愈合, 导致一名澳洲男子在几个月内得知皮肤干燥后, 诊断出脏细胞癌(SCC)。
A persistent lip crack that wouldn’t heal led an Australian man to a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) diagnosis after months of being told it was dryness.
尽管多次被驳回,他仍坚持进行活检,结果发现与阳光损伤相关的癌症——俗称“农夫唇”——由于唇靠近淋巴通路,这种癌症可以迅速扩散。
Despite repeated dismissals, he pushed for a biopsy, revealing cancer linked to sun damage—commonly called "Farmer’s Lip"—which can spread rapidly due to the lip’s proximity to lymphatic pathways.
该案突出表明,需要寻求对非愈合性嘴唇痛进行医疗评估,特别是在夏季开始时,以便及早抓获SCC, 澳大利亚每年有5 500多例新病例。
The case highlights the need to seek medical evaluation for non-healing lip sores, especially as summer begins, to catch SCC early, with over 5,500 new cases in Australia annually.
