Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of Tongue After Treatment For Systemic Lupus Erythematosus In A Young Chinese Patient

We recently encountered an unusual case of squamous cell carcinoma in the left of lingual body arising in a 29-year-old woman who had a history of systemic lupus erythematosus. The woman had been diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus for five months during which the treatment for lupus was carried out. Five months later, she went to our department of oral surgery for the treatment of "tongue ulcer". Imaging scan revealed the space-occupying lesion in the left lingual body. Biopsy was performed and the disease was diagnosed pathologically as squamous cell carcinoma of tongue via hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining.
