Abstract

We present a case of an 80 year old female who had previously been diagnosed with lichen planus of the tongue dorsum some 10 years previously. Due to a change in the appearance of the lesion a biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. We discuss this rare diagnosis in conjunction with the possibility of an association of squamous cell carcinoma and lichen planus.
