Morbid development of squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth with cervical invasion
Herein we report a case of morbid development of advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma. A 54-year-old male patient was referred because of a 2.5-cm wide ulcerated lesion, with elevated edges in the floor of the mouth. Panoramic radiograph revealed a poorly defined radiolucency affecting the alveolar ridge from teeth 34 to 44. Anamnesis found tobacco and alcoholic addiction. Cervical palpation verified a cold 4-cm wide submandibular enlarged node. Immediate cytologic smear was performed, along with preoperative exams.
