Abstract
Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare genetic condition of telomerase dysfunction in which patients are at an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma (SCCa) of the oral cavity. We present here the youngest patient in the literature with a diagnosis of SCCa. We discuss the literature and management of this advanced presentation of SCCa in a child, stressing the importance of palliative care involvement in facilitating medical decision making.
