Abstract :
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most typical type of oral malignant neoplasm. As per
literature, OSCC of the alveolar ridge account for 9% of all the oral carcinomas. It shares clinical similarity
with various forms of inflammatory gingival lesions and is very commonly misdiagnosed in our routine
