Abstract
A case of spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue in a 4-year-old boy is presented. The diagnosis is supported by immunohistochemical demonstration of cytokeratins within the tumor cells. The authors believe this report represents the first case of "nonkeratinizing" spindle cell squamous carcinoma of the tongue in the first decade of life.
