“…Outro fato que pode justificar os achados do presente estudo é que o CEC, câncer mais comum da boca e orofaringe (12)(13)(14)22) , afeta principalmente adultos com mais de 50 anos, atingindo valores máximos aos 80 anos (11) , sendo rara sua ocorrência em indivíduos com idade inferior a 40 anos (1 a 6% dos casos) (16,(23)(24)(25) . O baixo percentual de mortalidade em crianças menores de um ano encontrado na presente pesquisa está de acordo com informações citadas na literatura (26) que apontam os carcinomas como o principal grupo de câncer incidente na boca (12)(13)(14)22) , sendo mais frequentes entre dez e 14 anos.…”

“…Encontrou-se, no presente estudo, que um dos sítios de maior ocorrência do câncer bucal em jovens foi a língua, similar ao verificado em pacientes de faixa etária mais elevada (11,23) , parecendo não haver distinção entre esse sítio anatômico e as faixas etárias, conforme já destacado na literatura (24) . Em relação à comparação entre faringe e cavidade oral, a maioria dos óbitos em crianças e adolescentes adveio do câncer da nasofaringe, em concordância com a maior incidência desse carcinoma descrita na literatura (36) .…”

RESUMOObjetivo: Descrever a mortalidade por cânceres da boca e faringe em crianças e adolescentes, dentre as neoplasias malignas registradas em brasileiros.Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de 167 óbitos de crianças (zero a 14 anos) e adolescentes (15 a 19 anos) registrados entre 1999 e 2005 no Brasil, e classificados nos códigos do Capítulo II (neoplasias-tumores) da CID-10, de acordo com a codificação de cânceres da boca e faringe (C00-C14). Os dados foram obtidos do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade do Ministério da Saúde, disponibilizado em CD-ROM.Resultados: A mortalidade proporcional por cânceres da boca e faringe na faixa etária em estudo representou 0,8% do total dos óbitos por todas as neoplasias e essa mortalidade aumentou com a idade (0,26% para <1 ano e 1,52% para 15 a 19 anos). Entre zero a 14 anos ocorreram 69 óbitos (46 do sexo masculino e 23 do feminino) e, entre 15 e 19 anos, 98 óbitos (64 do sexo masculino e 34 do feminino), correspondendo a 0,5% (n=167) do total de óbitos por cânceres da boca e faringe registrados no Brasil.Conclusões: A mortalidade foi maior em adolescentes do sexo masculino. O sítio anatômico que mais levou a óbito crianças e adolescentes foi a nasofaringe, sendo a orofaringe a topografia mais acometida da cavidade bucal.Palavras-chave: neoplasias bucais; neoplasias faríngeas; mortalidade. ABSTRACT Objective:To describe the mortality in children and teenagers due to mouth and pharynx cancers among neoplasm cases registered in Brazil.Methods: This is a retrospective study of 167 deaths of children (zero to 14 years old) and teenagers (15 to 19 years old) registered between 1999 and 2005 in Brazil, that were classified under the ICD-10 codes of mouth and pharynx cancers (C00-C14), in Chapter II. The data were obtained from the Information System about Mortality of the Ministry of Health, available in CD-ROM.Results: The proportional mortality for mouth and pharynx cancers in the studied group represented 0.8% of the total deaths from all neoplasms. The mortality increased with age (0.26% for <1 year old children and 1.52% for 15 to 19 years old teenagers). There were 69 deaths (46 males and 23 females) of children aged from zero to 14 years old and 98 deaths (64 males and 34 females) of teenagers from 15 to 19 years old, corresponding to 0.5% (n=167) of the total deaths caused by mouth and pharynx cancers recorded in Brazil.Conclusions: Mortality was higher in male teenagers. The anatomic site that lead to more deaths of children and teenagers was the nasopharynx. Oropharynx was the most affected topography of the oral cavity.

“…According to WHO, oral cancer has one of the highest mortality rates compared to other cancers. [5][6][7][8] Studies have shown that the mean age at the diagnosis of OSCC to be 61 years. Only about 2% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed before 35 years age and only about 7% before 45 years.…”

Oral Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm affecting oral cavity, generally seen in individuals over 50 years of age and rarely before 40 years of age. As OSCC is rare in younger group, it may be often misdiagnosed resulting in inappropriate treatment leading to poor survival rates. Here we report a case of OSCC of left lateral border of the tongue in a 38 year old male patient and also review its literature.

“…Site of greatest occurrence of oral cancer in the group of patients under 40 is the tongue, similarly to what is observed in the older range patients. 5 Clinical manifestation of SCC in young patients has no distinguishing features from that of the older; nevertheless, literature reports that many clinicians tend not to include SCC as a diagnostic hypothesis in young patients, simply because such disease is not compatible to age range. 7 In these case, differential diagnosis normally includes deep mycoses, 10 primary syphilis cancrum and tuberculosis.…”

“…This interest is based on the fact that risk factors (smoking and drinking) that are usually observed in elderly patients are not verified in young ones. 4,5 Despite the demonstration by some studies 2,3 that the same etiological factors are present for both age ranges, the possibility of the existence of a carcinogenic action of tobacco and alcohol in the young patient is low, given that in this group exposure time would be relatively short for the establishment of a cause-effect relation. Thus, other factors should be investigated in order to explain SCC etiology in young patients, among which are included: genetic predisposition, previous viral infection, feeding habits, states immunodeficiency, occupational exposure to the carcinogenic factor, socioeconomic condition and oral hygiene.…”

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity, usually affecting individuals over 50 years of age. It rarely occurs in patients who are less than 40 years old (1 to 6%). This report describes a case of squamous cell carcinoma, staged T2N1M0 (stage III), involving the lateral border and dorsal surface of the tongue of a 25-yearold white female patient, with no smoking or drinking habits. Initial tumor presentation was of deep ulceration and intense pain. This report focuses on the etiological factors, differential diagnosis and prognosis related to the case. Additionally, a brief literature review regarding squamous cell carcinoma in young patients is also included. Keywords: Carcinoma, squamous cell; Precancerous conditions; Tongue neoplasms Resumo: O carcinoma epidermóide constitui a neoplasia maligna mais comum da boca, afetando principalmente indivíduos com mais de 50 anos. Sua ocorrência em jovens, com idade inferior a 40 anos, é rara (1 a 6% dos casos). Descreve-se um caso de carcinoma epidermóide acometendo dorso e borda da língua, classificado como T2N1M0 (estádio III)
