Indiscriminate Use of Smokeless Tobacco Leading to Oral Cancer at a Young Age; A Case Report with Literature Review on Tobacco Consumption

Abstract

Oral Squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) constitutes the sixth most common cancer in world. Oral cancer is known as an elderly disease mostly occurring between the 5th and 6th decades of life. It is mainly attributed to the use of tobacco and alcohol. Only 4-6% of OSCC is reported to occur below 40 years of age. This report describes a rare occurrence of OSCC in a 35 year old male patient, with a disproportionate history of tobacco chewing since the age of 14years; and literature review about tobacco use among younger generation.
