Figure 1. Development of OSCC in the tongue of an immunodeficient mouse.

Figure 1

(a) Shows the tumor developed in the oral cavity of BALBc/nude mouse by SCC-9 cells injection. (b) Shows the tumor dissected from the oral cavity of the BALBc/nude mouse. (c) Microscopical features of the OSCC included pleomorphic epithelial cells invading the muscle fibers of the tongue (50X, H&E). (d) Mitotic figures (arrows) were also observed (200X, H&E).
