| description | A polypoid mucosal lesion in the oral cavity generally signifies a soft tissue pathology that is benign. The aetiology can vary from inflammatory conditions to fibrous tumours.Occasionally a malignant lesion can manifest as a polypoid oral mucosal lesion [1]. We would like to describe a case of a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma, a spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma (SpSCC), presenting as a polypoid mucosal lesion.It is important to ascertain a diagnosis based on history and clinical examination, so that vital findings are not missed and speedy treatment can be instituted. |
