Abstract:
Peri-implant oral lesions, benign or malignant, may be misdiagnosed as peri-implantitis. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cancer reported around dental implants. Malignant peri-implant lesions are life-threatening, and their resemblance to peri-implantitis, especially in their early stage, necessitates a precise differential diagnosis. This report presents a case of a 55-year-old woman with a peri-implant squamous cell carcinoma mimicking peri-implantitis.
