Abstract:

Chronic use of smokeless tobacco has been strongly associated with the development of oral cancer taking the form of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The SCC is highly invasive tumor and invades all types of hard and soft tissue irrespective of their composition or defense system. We present an interesting case of oral squamous cell carcinoma that was associated with the use of three different types of smokeless tobacco since a period of more than ten years. The lesion had extended to the entire buccal vestibule on the right side of the mandible and had involvement of local lymph nodes. Although, histopathological diagnosis was initiated and confirmed early, the patient did not report for the treatment of the condition. The clinical presentation of the case suggests that tumor aggression could be associated with the use of different types of tobacco.
