Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity ranks as the 12th most common cancer in the world and the 8th most frequent cancer in males. Oral cavity SCC (OCSCC) is extremely unusual in the pediatric population. Researchers believe that the pathology of SCC in pediatric patients is a separate entity different from SCC in the adult population. SCC is a malignant and clinically variable epithelial neoplasm. When located in the gingiva, this neoplasm may mimic common inflammatory lesions. This neoplasm is generally more frequent in males than in females, but this is not observed in cases of SCC located in the gingiva. Usual risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol exposure are typically absent.
