| Abstrakt: | Introduction: A diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma in adolescent patients is extremely rare. When an oral squamous cell carcinoma lesion arises near the teeth and/or periodontium, it can be easily misdiagnosed as an inflammatory condition of endodontic or periodontal origin. Methods: This is a case report of an otherwise healthy 14-year-old patient who was referred for endodontic evaluation and treatment of a soft-tissue swelling in the anterior maxilla. Results: The unexpected definitive diagnosis of invasive oral squamous cell carcinoma underscores the importance of proper diagnostic testing. Conclusions: Accurate interpretation of pulp testing results, periapical and cone beam computed tomography imaging, timely biopsy, and prompt definitive treatment are critical when a lesion of nonodontogenic origin is suspected.
