Abstract:
An atypical presentation of squamous cell carcinoma of the mandibular gingiva is presented. This case, along with previously reported cases in the literature, demonstrate the need for thorough intraoral examination and investigation of any unexplained, persistent lesions. Emphasis is placed upon histopathologic examination of such lesions in order to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
