The correlation between TNM classification and histological scores of malignancy, and the correlation of these parameters with the prognosis was evaluated in 16 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. The cases were selected from the files of "Dr. Luiz Antônio" Cancer Hospital, Natal, RN, Brazil. After analysis of the patients' records, the data concerning TNM classification and prognosis (in a 5-year-follow-up) were obtained. All cases were classified according to the histological malignancy grading system proposed by Anneroth et al. (1) [Scand Dent Res 1987;95:229-249]. There was no correlation (r = 0.3083) between TNM classification and histological scores of malignancy. There was significant correlation (r = 0.7206) between TNM classification and prognosis, but there was no correlation between the histological scores of malignancy and the prognosis. It was concluded that TNM classification is an important prognostic indicator of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.

Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare aggressive biphasic tumor, composed of neoplastic proliferation of both epithelial (squamous) and spindle cell population. It constitutes about 1% of all oral cavity tumors 2a and is almost rare on the tongue; only few cases have been reported so far. This variant of squamous cell carcinoma, comprises major diagnostic problems due to its varied histomorphology and resemblance to sarcomatous lesion; hence diligent screening and IHC markers are mandatory for its diagnosis.
