Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of Alveolus And Buccal Mucosa- A Case Report

Abstract

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent type of carcinoma that affects the oral mucosa. Globally, 90% of oral cancer cases are caused by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). It is unusual to develop below 30 years of age and more common in males over the age of 50. The most frequent malignant epithelial neoplasm affecting the oral cavity is oral squamous cell carcinoma. It is under the head and neck SCC group, and knowledge on its risk factors, genetic makeup, and epigenetic modifications is becoming more widely available. The long-held theory that poor oral hygiene contributes to the development of oral cancer has received more attention as evidence has emerged linking oral malignancies to chronic inflammatory illnesses such as periodontitis. Treatment for OSCC must be multimodal since it is a very invasive tumour and most patients have lesions that are still progressing locally when they are diagnosed. Studies show that different practices involving tissue abuse account for between 30 and 40 percent of mortality from oral squamous cell cancer. This article describes a classic case presentation of alveolar-buccal sulcus-related oral squamous cell carcinoma in a thirty seven-year-old male.
