The most common sites in the head and neck region are hypopharynx and parapharyngeal spaces. IHC is usually required for diagnosis. Its nature and biological behavior is quite different than squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity. It is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis.We had such case of SS of lower gum and alveolus.
