Abstract

Tongue neoplasms are the most common in the oral cavity, and the majority correspond to squamous cell carcinomas. We present two cases of tongue carcinomas, corresponding to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and verrocus carcinoma, in middle-aged women with oncogenic risk factors. These tumors can have various degrees of differentiation, which determine their prognosis and treatment.
