Intra-oral carcinoma can present in a variety of ways. Whilst carcinoma classically presents as an irregular, indurated, painless mass or ulcer, it is also recognised as being a great 'mimic' of benign lesions. A series of four cases of intra-oral squamous cell carcinoma is presented in which the initial presentation suggested a lesion of benign or dental origin. Factors which raise the index of suspicion are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- * The first reported case of MSA in the parotid gland involved a 48-year-old man whose fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) showed unique cellular patterns, including multinucleated giant cells and secretory features, alongside supportive histological evidence.
- * MSA should be included in the differential diagnosis for low-grade salivary gland tumors, and accurate diagnosis can be confirmed through cellular analysis, immunohistochemistry

A crucial parameter in determining the prognosis of oral cavity cancer is depth of invasion (DOI). This research aimed to correlate pathological DOI at different intra-oral anatomical sites for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with the risk of regional lymph node metastasis (LNM). This study also investigated the correlation of 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) with tumor depth.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) seen in the oral cavity are a category of diseases for which dentists may diagnose and even cure. This study evaluated the performance of diagnostic computer software developed to detect oral cancer lesions in intra-oral retrospective patient images.
Materials And Methods: Oral cancer lesions were labeled with CranioCatch labeling program (CranioCatch, Eskişehir, Turkey) and polygonal type labeling method on a total of 65 anonymous retrospective intraoral patient images of oral mucosa that were diagnosed with oral cancer histopathologically by incisional biopsy from individuals in our clinic.

Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) signs and symptoms may be first identified by dental hygienists during routine extra and intra-oral examinations. A comprehensive extra-oral and intra-oral examination during regular dental hygiene assessment is paramount to identifying oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and cancerous lesions for timely referral and treatment. Integrating a systematic list of questions during the medical and dental assessment along with careful visual and tactile examinations is critical to identifying OPMDs and cancerous lesions.

Various methods of reconstruction are available for reconstructing oral cancer defects, but all of them have their inherent drawbacks. The superiorly based platysma myocutaneous flap is a common reconstruction option for intra-oral defects following oral cancer resections. We present our results of using platysmal flaps in reconstructing intraoral defects following oral cavity cancer resection in our 7 patients along with resection of three cases of premalignant conditions of oral cavity.
