Oral Oncol 2023; 144:106442.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage, with the five-year survival rate varying around 50%, however, ifs the sooner OSCC in early-stage is treated, the lower the chances of recurrence and death. In this study, we described an OSCC diagnosed early, highlighting how the early surgical excision prevents the morbidity. CASE REPORT A 74-year-old man presented a whitish and symptomatic plaque and a discreet ulcerated area on the right lateral border of the tongue. Due to close contact with the second inferior molar, a clinical diagnosis of a frictional keratosis was suspected, however as the lesion persisted after two weeks of follow-up, an incisional biopsy was performed and the microscopic features revealed an OSCC. Early surgical resection was performed, preventing the morbidity and improve benefits to patient. CONCLUSION OSCC can manifest of several clinical forms, including indolent appearances, which can delay the diagnosis, and consequently the prognosis. Further, it is important to recognize and not neglect any intraoral lesions, in order to avoid the far more invasive surgery that a more advance disease would imply.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A proportion of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is preceded by oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), and the rest might not be associated with any well-established OPMD. Chronic traumatic ulcer (CTU) has been suggested as a lesion with potential for malignant transformation, but the evidence is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe clinicopathological features of non-healing CTU (NHCTU) that later developed to OSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed of patients attending the Facultad de Odontología Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (2013-2019). The study included patients with a provisional diagnosis of CTU. CTUs without complete healing after removal of traumatic factors-non healing CTU (NHCTU)-were investigated by biopsy. A detailed description of cases where a malignancy was diagnosed is presented. RESULTS A total of 107 CTU were included. Of these, 32 CTUs were considered NHCTU and two cases showed histological features of OSCC in the background of NHCTU. In both cases, lesions were found on the lateral tongue. Both were non smoking, non alcohol drinking individuals. Absence of any well-known OPMD was also registered. CONCLUSIONS The possibility of malignant transformation in a subset of tongue NHCTU should not be underestimated. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In a subgroup of patients, NHCTU could be considered an OPMD. Although the potential malignant transformation rate is low, these conditions should be always followed up.
