A case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue during pregnancy Case report A 25-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital for an enlarging and non-healing ulcer on her tongue. She was well into her third trimester of an otherwise uneventful pregnancy when she noticed the lesion. An incisional biopsy at her local provincial hospital during her 26th week of gestation yielded a diagnosis of a squamous cell carcinoma. On examination, she presented with an ulcerative growth measuring 3.5 cm by 5 cm over the left lateroposterior border of her tongue, but the full extent and depth of invasion could not be ascertained radiographically in view of her pregnancy. There were no clinical evidences of cervical lymphade-nopathies or other synchronous tumors to suggest the possibility of metastases. Her medical history was unremarkable and she denied smoking or drinking; but she was a divorcee who had remarried within the year.
