ORAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF TONGUE IN A YOUNG WOMAN WITH LOW RISK: A CASE REPORT

The increase in the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma in the lateral part of the tongue in young, non-smoking and female individuals in recent years and the fact that HPV and other viral factors remain etiologically unclear in these cancers indicate that different etiopathologies should be investigated in lateral SCC of the tongue. The case is the first reported case of OSCC after orthodontic treatment in a low-risk young female patient.
