Squamous Cell Carcinoma of The Tongue in A Developing Community

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue is characterized by malignant cells which show squamous differentiation in the direction of "formation of keratin and/or the presence of intercellular bridges." As single case reports have appeared in the literature recently, this paper presents a good number of them traced among the Ibo ethnic group in Nigeria, this being facilitated by the author who heads an institution that provides a histopathology data pool.
