Discussion: The mean age is 60 with age group (61-70) (n= 5: 20%) expression of HSV-2 with (P= 0.136), and the expression of HSV-2 with squamous cell carcinoma of tumor type (n= 6:10.90%) with (P= 0.476), histological grade well differentiated (n=6:11.10%) with (P= 0.477). Conclusion: The expression of HSV-2 was insignificant in age group. The expression of HSV-2 was insignificant in tumor type squamous cell carcinoma. The expression of HSV-2 was insignificant in histological grade.
