**Squamous carcinomas of the [[Tongue - Pathology|tongue]] (especially in '''cats''') can also behave in a very malignant fashion. Those at more rostral sites, e.g. on the incisor gingivae, are less likely to metastasise early although they may be locally aggressive.

*Squamous cell carcinomas of the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] are occasionally seen in other species, notably in the cat, where the tumour tends to infiltrate around the oesophageal wall resulting in a “'''ring carcinoma'''”.
