Summary:A 62-year-old woman with T1N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue is reported in this article, who was treated by partial resection after internal irradiatin (70Gy) and chemotherapy (PEP60mg). But 3 years and 7 months later, she revisited us with a main complaint of painful mass in the right-side middle neck. The lesion was diagnosed as lymph node metastasis with calcification, and the total neck dissection was performed. This calcification was seen in a keratosis area of the cancer nest. About 1 year after the operation, she was well with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis of the tumor.
