Squamous cell cancer of the oral cavity mainly occurs in older patients or in patients with alcohol or nicotine abuse. Younger patients are seldom involved. The case of a 27-year-old woman with a squamous cell cancer of the right cheek will be presented. Without any risk factors, an immune defect resulting in chronic Candida infection of the oral cavity seems to be responsible for the carcinogenesis.
