Author Details

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is a relatively common human cancer characterized by high morbidity, high mortality, and few therapeutic options outside of surgery, standard cytotoxic chemotherapy, and radiation. Although the most important risk factors are tobacco use and alcohol consumption, the disease is also linked to infection with high-risk types of human papilloma viruses (HPVs). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the buccal mucosa is a common malignant tumor in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and India. Risk factors associated with SCC include betel quid chewing, tobacco and alcohol consumption.

Abstract

Geographic tongue is an inflammatory disorder characterized by asymptomatic erythematoud patched with serpiginous borders. Clinically the appearance is of multifocal, circinate, irregular patches bonded by slightly elevated, white colored keratotic bands. Several etiological factors have been proposed. The conditions may remain asymptomatic or patients may present with complains of pain and burning sensation. We report a case of geographic tongue in a 6 year old boy with review of current concept in causes and management.
