More than 90% of oral cancer cases occur in people older than 45 years. Lesions of gingiva account for approximately 10% of the oral squamous cell carcinomas and may clinically present mimicking as benign or inflammatory lesions, leading to delay in definitive diagnosis and treatment with unfavorable outcome.

However, a through history, clinical and histopathological examination revealed the lesion to be gingival squamous cell carcinoma and treatment was initiated.
