A Case Report of Advanced Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma | Chapter 03 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7

 Introduction: Oral cancer is a condition that is becoming more common as people become older, with the average age of diagnosis being around 60 years. It is the world's sixth most prevalent cancer, with a wide geographic spread. In India, there is a tendency toward increased oral cancer incidence and delayed presentation, with around 50% of patients presenting at stage III or IV, with the lower socioeconomic strata of society playing a key role.

Case Presentation: A 35-year-old man complained of a quickly growing ulcer in his jaw. On extraoral inspection, a hard nodular swelling with orocutaneous perforation was evident, whereas an ulcero-infiltrative, indurated lesion was present on intraoral examination. After radiographic inspection, the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathopathological investigation.

Conclusion: Despite advances in diagnostic and treatment procedures, age-standardized mortality rates for oral cancer remain stable. With an emphasis on clinical characteristics of squamous cell carcinoma, this article recounts a case of advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma that occurred at a young age.
