Dentoscope

Early diagnosis still rules the roost...
A case of chronic tongue ulcer due to sharp tooth, Vital Staining revealed a possible 'uncontrolled activity' in the ulcer.
Patient was immediately taken up for incisional biopsy and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
The mobility of tongue was still unrestricted and no palpable lymph nodes were appreciated. So, hopefully an early savior for the patient.
Take home points - Early & prompt diagnosis of oral ulcers and biopsy wherever needed.
