Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm of epithelium, most frequently occurring in intraoral tumors. In this article we describe a rarely reported, because the frequency of oral cancer in young people is extremely low, case of a 16-year-old Chinese girl with squamous cell carcinoma of anterior mandibular gingiva. The clinicopathologic features, etiology, clinical evaluation, management of squamous cell carcinoma of gingiva in young patients are discussed and the applicable literatures are reviewed.
