Abstract
We studied 69 cases of stage I and II squamous-cell carcinoma in the oral cavity, Which were cytologically examined at our clinic between January 1984 and October 1992.
The following results were obtained.

2. The percentage of correct cytodiagnosis was low in the cases occurring in the tongue and in the leukoplakic cases.
3. The malignancy of cytodiagnosis Class III is doubtful.
