Immunohistochemical study of the expression of human chorionic gonadotropin‐β in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone comprised of two dissimilar subunits (α and β) and normally is synthesized by trophoblastic tissue. Although hCG expression has been identified in a variety of neoplastic tissues, to the authors' knowledge no investigation has centered on tumors of oral origin.
