Calcifications in the soft tissues can be accidental findings during diagnostic procedures. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) forms the major percentage of oral malignancies; calcifications are rare findings in OSCC. Calcifications are seen as a result of necrosis, chronic inflammations as well as degenerative changes and imbalances of the local calcium and phosphorous environment. The presence of calcifications can be a prognostic marker, hypothesizing that the influx of calcium from hard tissues into the soft tissues, can probably determine the invasive nature and the destructive characteristics of the carcinoma; hence, detecting calcifications can help us in predicting the prognosis and spread of the malignancy.
