Abstract

The most common type of tongue malignancy is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) which constitutes about 36.5% of all oral malignancies. It usually presents as painless swelling which is often ignored by the patient until late when it is symptomatic because of demonstrable growth in the oral cavity.
