Recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity after chronic graft-versus-host disease

This report is about a 45-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), treated with chemotherapy and allogeneic bone marrow transplant (allo-BMT) in 2010. After allo-BMT the patient developed chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) and was treated with a corticosteroid and immunosuppressants. In 2018, he presented with a whitish lesion with a central ulcer in the left anterior portion of the tongue. An incisional biopsy revealed the histopathologic diagnosis of invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), poorly differentiated.
