Resumo: A 66yo male patient, smoker and alcohol-addicted for the last 52 years, showed a white plaque in 2017 with diagnosis of epithelial hyperplasia with papillomatosis and mild epithelial dysplasia. The patient did not attend the follow-up and later May/2021, he returned to the examination, with extensive, hard and ulcerated exophytic erythroleukoplakia, undefined limits on the edge of the tongue. New biopsies were performed and the anatomopathological examination showed moderately epithelial dysplasia in the soft palate region, and the left tongue was diagnosed with moderately differentiated conventional squamous cell carcinoma staging cT3acN1cM0 tongue squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment performed consists of left partial glossectomy, concomitantly with radiotherapy 20 fractions x 250cGy/field. These findings are important because they imply that many patients with oral premalignant lesions are not getting diagnosed in a timely manner and consequently, not receiving the benefits of early detection.
