Abstract
Most commonly, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity presents during the fifth and sixth decades of life. Less than 4% of these cancers occur in patients younger than 40 years of age. Only a small sample of this subgroup exists of pediatric patients (< or =20 years), making oral SCC in children an extremely rare entity. An 11-year-old boy is presented who developed a SCC of the gingiva. The relevant literature of oral SCC in pediatric patients will be reviewed as well.Entities:
