Abstract EN
Current immunosuppression improved long-term outcome of transplant patients, but it also increased the incidence of de novo malignancy.
Organ transplant recipients have three- to four-fold increased risk of developing carcinoma in comparison with the general population.
Common malignancies encountered after transplantation include cancer of the skin, lips, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, ano-genital carcinoma and Kaposi sarcoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue is very rare.
We report here a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue in an adult male patient who developed it 11 years post-transplant.
He underwent right hemiglossectomy and his graft function remained stable.
