ICD-10 Diagnosis Code Z85.81 Oral cancer can form in any part of the mouth. Most oral cancers begin in the flat cells that cover the surfaces of your mouth, tongue, and lips. Anyone can get oral cancer, but the risk is higher if you are male, use tobacco, drink lots of alcohol, have HPV, or have a history of head or neck cancer. Frequent sun exposure is also a risk factor for lip cancer.

Cat Mouth Cancer Follow On: A squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cause of cat mouth cancer. There are three other types of cancers of the mouth, including fibrosarcoma, lymphoma, and malignant melanoma. Cancer of the mouth can affect the tongue or the throat and move to other areas of the body. Although not all cancers are fatal, if they are not detected early and your cat does not respond well to treatment, fatality is almost certain. Causes of Cat Mouth Cancer While the exact cause of mouth cancer in cats is unknown, it is suspected that it could be due to their meticulous grooming habits. There are carcinogens in the air and environment which land on your cat's coat and enter the mouth upon grooming.

Types of oral cancer Types of oral cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma: More than 90% of cancers that occur in the oral cavity and oropharynx are squamous cell carcinoma. Normally, the throat and mouth are lined with so-called squamous cells, which are flat and arranged in a scale-like way. Squamous cell carcinoma means that some squamous cells are abnormal. Verrucous carcinoma: About 5% of all oral cavity tumors are verrucous carcinoma, which is a type of very slow-growing cancer made up of squamous cells.
