Nonhealing ulcer on border of tongue

2018-02-26 19:36:14
My dad has an nonhealing ulcer on the lateral board of the tongue. We've consulted to many doctors but there are no good results seen. We're also done with biopsy test which says... "MICROSCOPIC: Biopsy reveals a malignant epithelial tumor showing moderately differentiated squamous cells arranged in sheets and islands with moderate degree of anaplasia. Mitotic activity and keratin pearl formation is seen...IMPRESSION: Moderately differentiated squamous cells carcinoma."
