Malignant Conversion of Oral Submucous Fibrosis in Surgically Treated Case

| description | Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is an insidious chronic disease affecting any part of the oral cavity and sometimes the pharynx with
epithelial atrophy leading to stiffness of the oral mucosa, causing trismus and inability to eat. However a more serious complication of this
disease is the risk of the development of oral carcinoma.
We reported the histopathologically proven case of OSMF with initial interincisal mouth opening 2mm which was treated surgically with
nasolabial flap technique but failed to follow up and could not do active mouth opening exercises. Malignant conversion of OSMF was seen
in this case. This is required to assess the progress and evaluate any malignant transformation at the earliest. So, the importance of active
co-operation and frequent follow up cannot be overemphasized. The purpose of this study is to emphasize the importance of regular follow
up and frequent biopsies to facilitate oral examination and to check any malignant conversion after the surgery. |
