“…Previous studies have reported that SCC of the dorsum of the tongue is usually discovered at the early stage probably because the dorsal surface of the tongue is easily visualized and masses on this site are palpable by the palatal mucosa. 2,5,6,13 In the present case, the patent was aware of the tongue lesion in a relatively early stage. However, the lesion was followed under the pathological diagnosis of epithelial hyperplasia and finally diagnosed as SCC with surgical excisions.…”

“…Generally, surgical resection is the first treatment choice for early stage SCC of the dorsum of the tongue, and neck dissection is performed for cervical lymph node metastasis. 2,5,6,13 Reconstruction surgery using vascularized free flap transfer might be necessary for a large tongue defect. 15 In the present case, the defect was closed by suturing without any reconstructive procedures.…”

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the dorsum of the tongue frequently presents as an exophytic mass mimicking benign lesions.Case Presentation: We report a case of a 69-year-old woman with an exophytic lesion on the dorsum of the tongue. She underwent biopsy twice prior to surgical excision. The biopsy specimens revealed epithelial hyperplasia, and the pathological diagnosis from the surgical material was well-differentiated SCC. Immunohistochemical findings of cytokeratin 13 (CK13), CK17, Ki-67, and p53 showed the pre-neoplastic nature of the hyperplastic epithelia in the biopsy specimens. Conclusion:Immunohistochemical staining is useful for the diagnosis of exophytic lesions of the dorsum of the tongue.
