Squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) constitutes the sixth most common cancer in
world. Oral cancer is known as an elderly disease mostly occurring between the
5th and 6th decades of life. It is mainly attributed to
the use of tobacco and alcohol. Only 4-6% of OSCC is reported to occur below 40
years of age. This report describes a rare occurrence of OSCC in a 35 year old
male patient, with a disproportionate history of tobacco chewing since the age
of 14years; and literature review about tobacco use among younger generation. |
