Objective: To report a case of gingival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in an elderly patient mimicking a non-neoplastic proliferative lesion.

Background: Oral SCC is a well-recognised malignancy of the oral cavity that may mimic benign reactive proliferative processes.

Methods: An excisional biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was gingival SCC.

Conclusion: It is essential that both the clinician and pathologist to be aware of such a presentation to allow for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Mesenchymal stem cell-mediated adipogenic transformation: a key driver of oral squamous cell carcinoma progression.

Stem Cell Res Ther

January 2025

Department of Stomatology, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510630, China.

Background: Interaction between mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells plays a major role in OSCC progression. However, little is known about adipogenic differentiation alteration in OSCC-derived MSCs (OSCC-MSCs) and how these alterations affect OSCC growth.

Methods: MSCs were successfully isolated and cultured from normal gingival tissue, OSCC peritumoral tissue, and OSCC tissue.
