“…Whether or not it is precancerous remains controversial, but several authors have reported cases of long-standing lichen planus on the dorsum of the tongue that was diagnosed as SCC [6][7][8][9][10][11]15]. Case 2 in the present study provides further histopathologic evidence of the malignant potential of oral lichen planus.…”

“…In the present study, pathological re-examination of 368 patients with tongue cancer revealed only 3 with SCC of the dorsum, for an incidence of 0.8 %. To our knowledge, only 17 cases, including our 3 cases, with SCC of the tongue dorsum have been well documented in the English language literature [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Among these 17 cases, the ratio of men to women was 1:1.43 (7 men and 10 women) and mean age was 60.8 years (range, 35-80 years).…”

“…To avoid misdiagnosis, surgeons should obtain specimens of sufficient size as atraumatically as possible for differential diagnosis [16]. Several authors reported that SCC of the dorsum of the tongue arose from median rhomboid glossitis [12][13][14] or oral lichen planus [6][7][8][9][10][11]15]. On the contrary, no lesions prior to developing SCC arose on the tongue dorsum in any patients [6].…”

“…Case 2 in the present study provides further histopathologic evidence of the malignant potential of oral lichen planus. The erosive and/or atrophic forms of oral lichen planus undergo malignant transformation more readily than other variants of lichen planus [7,10,11]. However, several authors have reported SCC arising from keratotic forms [8,15], as well as from erosive and/or atrophic forms [7,10,11] of lichen planus of the dorsum of the tongue.…”

“…SCC of the tongue dorsum is very rare, especially at the midline [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Lesion of the dorsum might be overlooked or misdiagnosed as a more common benign lesion or oral manifestation of systemic disease [6,16].…”

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue is the most common oral cancer. Most cases occur on the lateral border of the tongue and only very rarely on the dorsum. We retrospectively investigated the incidence of SCC of the tongue dorsum in our department between April 2006 and March 2015. Of the 368 patients with tongue cancer, only 3 had SCC of the tongue dorsum (incidence, 0.8 %). All patients with advanced cancer of the tongue dorsum underwent superselective intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy for organ preservation. We discuss the present findings in relation to past case reports and series in the English language literature as well as discuss treatments for SCC of the tongue dorsum.

Background Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anterior two thirds of the tongue is the second most common oral cancer, with the lateral border being the most common location. Squamous cell carcinoma of the dorsum of the tongue is exceedingly rare and has been described in the past as a myth or misdiagnosis. The clinical diagnosis of SCC on the dorsum of the tongue is difficult because it may be mimicked by a wide variety of benign and premalignant lesions, including granular cell myoblastoma, erosive lichen planus, medial rhomboid glossitis, and amyloidosis. In this study we re‐evaluate the entity of SCC of the dorsum of the tongue. Methods We reviewed 5 large series of carcinoma of the tongue, which include accurate documentation of the topographic location of the carcinoma. We also describe 5 cases of SCC of the dorsum of the tongue from our own series of 99 patients with carcinoma of the tongue. Results In all 6 series, carcinoma of the dorsum of the tongue was present in 3 to 5% of the carcinomas of the tongue. Conclusion Although rare, SCC of the dorsum of the tongue exists and may be mimicked by benign conditions, thus SCC should be suspected when diagnosing lesions of this area of the tongue. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
