Intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma in the anterior part of mandible: A case report

Abstract

Intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma is a rare type of squamous cell carcinoma that requires accurate and early diagnose which is important due to its invasive feature. This article presents a rare case report on intraosseous carcinoma in a 33-year-old patient. The case was a 33-year-old man who was referred to oral disease department of Babol College of Dentistry complaining of chin pain. In the radiographic view there was a well-defined unilacular radiolucency extended from the first molar on the right side of mandible to the opposite premolars which caused perforation. Incisional biopsy showed a destructive lesion and finally, the lesion was removed by excision and curettage. Conclusion: In the present study, accurate and early diagnose of Intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma was very important due to the young age of the patient who was under 50 years old. In addition, the large size of the lesion that has passed the midline makes this case noticeable.
