β¦ Synopsis
An unusual form of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue is reported, the "de novo" submucosal evolution of which is unique. Histologic definition of this malignancy and its distinction from clinically similar benign and malignant conditions are detailed through a brief review of the relevant differential diagnoses. The importance of circumspect diagnostic reassessment when the clinical behavior of a lesion contradicts apparent histologic benignancy is emphasized and treatment inferences are drawn.
