Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Mandibular Gingiva in Chewing Tobacco: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract:Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant epithelial neoplasm. Chewing tobacco is an important risk factor in the genesis of oral potentially malignant and malignant lesions. Neffa is the predominant form of chewing tobacco in Tunisia. Early diagnosis of gingival carcinoma may pose significant challenges to the clinician because of its diverse clinical appearance. The diagnosis is made based on a histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen. Thus, the early diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma by health care providers is essential in achieving a good prognosis. Keywords:Squamous, Cell, Carcinoma, Tobacco, Chewing, Tunisia, prognosis
