Gingival carcinoma
a case report
Squamous-cell carcinoma is a malignant epithelial neoplasm characterized by various clinical manifestations. Present study aimed to report a case of gingival squamous-cell carcinoma in a who patient did not present risk factors associated with the referred neoplasm. A 95-year-old female, attended dental services exposing a rapidly growing, painful proliferative lesion of 6 months of evolution, located in vestibular marginal gingiva, which affected teeth # 33-32-31-43-42-41. According to clinical symptoms and differential diagnosis (central giant cell granuloma and malignant neoplasm), an excisional biopsy was obtained. Diagnosis of referred carcinoma was obtained after three days of patient decease consequent to a severe dyspnea case. Gingival squamous-cell carcinoma is a condition that usually has a good prognostic when diagnostic and treatment are established on time. This study reports a clinical case of a patient who died before having an opportunity to access treatment.
