Calcifications in oral carcinomas: Depicts diversity of calcium in cancer biology!
Calcifications in the soft tissues can be accidental findings during diagnostic procedures. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) forms the major percentage of oral malignancies; calcifications are rare findings in OSCC. Calcifications are seen as a result of necrosis, chronic inflammations as well as...

description | Calcifications in the soft tissues can be accidental findings during diagnostic procedures. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) forms the major percentage of oral malignancies; calcifications are rare findings in OSCC. Calcifications are seen as a result of necrosis, chronic inflammations as well as degenerative changes and imbalances of the local calcium and phosphorous environment. The presence of calcifications can be a prognostic marker, hypothesizing that the influx of calcium from hard tissues into the soft tissues, can probably determine the invasive nature and the destructive characteristics of the carcinoma; hence, detecting calcifications can help us in predicting the prognosis and spread of the malignancy. |
