  • Title: Oral medicine case book 51: actinic cheilitis in a patient with oculocutaneous albinism.
    Author: Wood NH, Moodley A.
    Journal: SADJ; 2013 Jul; 68(6):278-81. PubMed ID: 23971281.
    Abstract:
    Patients with oculocutaneous albinism are more prone to sun-induced damage due to the lack of melanin. Actinic cheilitis is a potentially malignant disorder that occurs due to chronic UV-B radiation to the vermillion region of the lip, a region that is already at risk due to its morphology. A case of actinic cheilitis in a patient with oculocutaneous albinism is presented with a literature review.
