Abstract

Study of the causes of tongue and oral mucosa cancer is one of the pressing issues in practical medicine. Oral mucosa cancer accounts for about 10% of all cancer cases in other organs. The staff of the Dermatology Department at "Russian University of Medicine" share their experience in identifying precancerous conditions of the oral mucosa and vermilion border of the lips during outpatient visits. These conditions have a tendency to transform into squamous cell carcinoma. The paper describes young patients from the venereology department who had a combination of venereal disease (syphilis) and oncology (tongue cancer). The authors draw the attention of specialists to certain precancerous conditions and early signs of malignancy, the knowledge of which should maintain active oncological vigilance among doctors of other specialties.

Keywords: precancer, cancer, syphilis, malignancy, oral mucosa, red border of the lips, signs of malignancy.
