RESUMO
Jorge Lobo's Disease (JLD) is a chronic granulomatous cutaneous mycosis caused by Lacazia loboi. The most typical lesions are keloid-like growths preferentially located on limbs and ears. To the best of the authors' knowledge, only one labial case has previously been reported. We describe the case of a man who presented with a left-sided papulonodular lesion of 10 years' duration on the vermillion border of the upper lip. A successful surgical resection of the lesion was performed and there was no recurrence in eight years of follow-up.
