A 39-year-old male was referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine department of Alborz University of Medical Sciences Dental School with a lesion that he had noticed for 3 weeks. The patient had no signs or symptoms and no cigarette and alcohol consumption. Because the lesion was placed at the lateral posterior portion of the tongue which is a common place for oral malignancies a biopsy was done. The pathology result was Squamous cell carcinoma grade 2. The patient was referred to Imam Khomeini Cancer Institute for further treatment. Keywords: Oral scc; Oral cancer; Squamous cell carcinoma.
