RESUMO
Oral Squamous cell carcinoma represent the 17th most frequent cancer in the world. The main risk factors are alcohol and tobacco consumption but dietary, familial, genetic, or oral diseases may be involved in oral carcinogenesis. Diagnosis is made on biopsy, but detection remains late, leading to a poor prognosis. New technologies could reduce these delays, notably Artificial Intelligence and the quantitative evaluation of salivary biological markers. Currently, management of oral cancer consists in surgery, which can be mutilating despite possible reconstructions. In the future, immunotherapies could become a therapeutic alternative and the immune microenvironment could constitute a source of prognostic markers.
Title: Le cancer de la cavité orale : une entité spécifique ? Abstract: Les carcinomes épidermoïdes de la cavité orale sont le 17e cancer le plus fréquent dans le monde. Les facteurs de risque principaux sont l'alcool et le tabac mais des facteurs alimentaires, familiaux, génétiques ou certaines maladies orales peuvent intervenir dans la genèse de ces cancers. Le diagnostic est tardif, entraînant un pronostic sombre. De nouvelles approches, comme l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle ou de marqueurs biologiques salivaires pourraient réduire ces délais. La prise en charge actuelle de ces cancers repose sur la chirurgie, la chimiothérapie et la radiothérapie, mais avec une iatrogénie importante. Les immunothérapies pourraient devenir une alternative à ces traitements et certaines caractéristiques du microenvironnement immunitaire pourraient constituer un/des marqueurs pronostiques.

Benign migratory glossitis or geographic tongue is a benign condition that usually manifests as asymptomatic erythematous and migratory circinate patches, involving the lateral and dorsal aspects of the tongue. Extra-lingual lesions uncommonly occur and are mainly located on labial and buccal mucosae, lips and floor of the mouth. The present report describes one patient with a geographic lesion on the hard palate associated with lingual lesions and another patient who had multiple geographic lesions both in the hard and soft palate without lingual lesions. We found 64 cases in the English literature of ectopic locations with 22 palate involvement. No case of simultaneous involvement of the hard and the soft palate was found.
