| Popis: | Secondary primary malignancies within the head and neck region are well documented. Within this group, synchronous tumours with an index oral cancer are usually found in the oropharyngeal or laryngeal sites. We present a rare case of an index squamous cell carcinoma in the tongue with a synchronous primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma. We discuss the challenges associated with investigation, diagnosis and subsequent management. Treatment aims remain the same; namely, eradicating the disease using surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or a combination of these modalities. It is important to acknowledge the unpredictable pattern of tumour presentation and the need to maintain a high index of suspicion. |
