  • Title: Carcinoma of the midline dorsum of the tongue.
    Author: Coombes D, Cascarini L, Booth PW.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2008 Sep; 46(6):485-6. PubMed ID: 18387722.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of an 80 year old female who had previously been diagnosed with lichen planus of the tongue dorsum some 10 years previously. Due to a change in the appearance of the lesion a biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. We discuss this rare diagnosis in conjunction with the possibility of an association of squamous cell carcinoma and lichen planus.
