Surgical management of oral squamous cell carcinoma of the lower gingivobuccal complex: A case report

Head and neck cancers are one of the most common cancers in India, the majority of which hare comprised of Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Managing such tumours necessitates not only astute clinical judgement but also precise imaging and a full understanding of the biology of tumour dissemination paths. Despite the fact that radical excision with adjuvant radiotherapy is the conventional treatment, advanced gingivobuccal tumours have extremely high locoregional failure rates. The current case report describes the presentation and management of OSCC of the lower gingivobuccal complex. It would serve to guide clinicians in the decision-making aspect during the management of extensive gingivobuccal OSCC.
