A late diagnosis of a primary interosseous squamous cell carcinoma: a case report

ConclusionsRadiologic and clinical characteristics of PIOSCCs are similar to those of benign odontogenic cysts and tumors. In certain cases, early-stage PIOSCC may mimic routine dental disorders, such as periapical and periodontal disease, which may lead to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis. Clinicians must be aware that PIOSCC may initially present as a routine dental disorder, and that unsuccessful treatment may be a sign of underlying malignancy.
