The commonest site for carcinoma of the tongue is the lateral margin.
Carcinoma of the tongue is the most frequent oral cancer, and it typically
arises from the squamous cells that cover the surface of the tongue. The lateral

found in tobacco and alcohol, which can increase the risk of developing cancer.
