FNAC shows ‘Straw colour fluid aspiration and suggestive of vascular origin and CT angiography suggestive of Ill-defined heterogeneously lobulated mass lesion with central necrotic area measuring (2.8x2.21cm) in the upper lip. It was surgically removed, and the histopathological finding was Squamous cell carcinoma.
