Abstract
In the near future, oral and maxillofacial surgeon will have to deal with an increasing number of squamous cell carcinomas of the peri-implant tissues, due to the ever increasing rate of dental implant therapy in edentulous or future edentulous patients. When physicians are diagnosing the patients in early stages, the differential diagnosis is sometimes difficult to set as the onset of oral carcinoma can mimic the clinics of perimplantitis. Most of the times, if they have some sort of distress of their implant mucosa, the patients will address their dentists, who have a lesser experience regarding oral cancer. The authors want to highlight this aggressive pathology, which is not new, but when it affects the peri-implant tissues, it can cause false diagnosis. This paper presents the case of a 68-year-old patient who underwent partial mandible resection for a perimplant mucosa squamous cell carcinoma.
