Abstract
â¢A significant association between oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and Merkel cell polyoma virus is reported.â¢The presence of MCPyV virus in oral tongue SCC was associated with lower recurrence rates.â¢Although a causal relationship is not suggested by this study, findings are novel and interesting to test this hypothesis.
