  • Title: Oral squamous cell carcinoma in children; review of an unusual entity.
    Author: Stolk-Liefferink SA, Dumans AG, van der Meij EH, Knegt PP, van der Wal KG.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 2008 Jan; 72(1):127-31. PubMed ID: 18029030.
    Abstract:
    Most commonly, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity presents during the fifth and sixth decades of life. Less than 4% of these cancers occur in patients younger than 40 years of age. Only a small sample of this subgroup exists of pediatric patients (< or =20 years), making oral SCC in children an extremely rare entity. An 11-year-old boy is presented who developed a SCC of the gingiva. The relevant literature of oral SCC in pediatric patients will be reviewed as well.
