Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma is a common cancer of the oral cavity. The median age of presentation is 60 years and it rarely occurs in patient aged less than 30 years. We present a case of a 29-year-old male who had ulceroproliferative growth at the left lateral aspect of the tongue. He had a risk factor of tobacco limed betel nut chewing from the age of 14. After detailed investigations, squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed with a staging of cT4a N0 M0. He underwent surgery along with radiotherapy afterward.
