Etanercept (Enbrel) is a TNF-alpha inhibitor effective in rheumatoid polyarthritis, psoriatic rheumatism, ankylosing spondyloarthritis, chronic plaque psoriasis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Several cases of tumours have been described in patients under etanercept. However, no case of association with oral carcinoma had ever been described. The aim of this study was to report a case of carcinoma of the cheek mucosa in a patient treated with etanercept for rheumatoid polyarthritis.
