Our aim was to examine the clinicopathological features of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity and oropharynx in a group of young patients who were dignosed during a 15-year period (2000–2014). Patients' clinical details, risk factors, and survival were obtained from medical records. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, tissue was tested for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). The results were compared with those of a matching group of older patients. We identified 91 patients who were younger than 45 years old, and the 50 youngest patients were studied in detail.
