ABSTRACT

The most common malignancy of the oral cavity is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is aggressive and proliferates in the surrounding structure. We present a rare case of gingivobuccal carcinoma in the lower right front region of the mandible associated with the habit of tobacco consumption in a 58-yearold male patient. The lesion was surgically managed with composite resection of the lesion, mandibulectomy of the right side and flap reconstruction with a free fibula flap and scalp flap. Most lesions are asymptomatic in the initial stage of carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma develops from the change in epithelial cells of the oral mucosa. Therefore, it is most difficult to control and the Risk of developing carcinoma increases with ageing and is more common in males than females.
