Abstract
Intra-oral carcinoma can present in a variety of ways. Whilst carcinoma classically presents as an irregular, indurated, painless mass or ulcer, it is also recognised as being a great 'mimic' of benign lesions. A series of four cases of intra-oral squamous cell carcinoma is presented in which the initial presentation suggested a lesion of benign or dental origin. Factors which raise the index of suspicion are discussed
