A 77-year-old female presented with an ulceroproliferative lesion of the left buccal mucosa extending to the commissure, diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on biopsy. She also had a large thyroid swelling, with expanded skin, diagnosed with a multinodular goiter. The patient underwent buccal mucosa wide local excision with left-sided selective neck dissection and total thyroidectomy. The naturally expanded skin over the anterior neck overlying the goiter was used for the reconstruction of the buccal mucosa defect based on the perforator unexpectedly arising directly from the external carotid artery instead of superior thyroid artery. The venous drainage was to an internal jugular vein tributary, multiple dilated veins on the flap were draining into this vein. We describe the innovative use of locally expanded skin for buccal mucosa reconstruction and thereby avoiding the morbidity of a free flap transfer and associated donor site morbidity.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to analyze the methylation status in patients who presented with an Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) concomitantly with multifocal Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL)(PVL-OSCC).
Methods: Nine patients with OSCC and concomitant PVL lesions were selected. Two brushing samples were collected simultaneously from OSCC and PVL lesions in contralateral mucosa from each patient.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) affects a substantial proportion of the Asian population and is influenced by various genetic risk factors. The (), a regulator of the circadian rhythm, has been implicated in certain neoplasms. Accordingly, this study investigated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and clinical manifestations of OSCC.

Introduction: The primary objective of our investigation was to assess the repercussions of prolonged exposure to heavy metals and smoking on the microbiome of the oral buccal mucosa. Concurrently, we aimed to elucidate the intricate interplay between external environmental exposures and the composition of the oral microbial ecosystem, thereby discerning its potential implications for human health.
Methods: Our study cohort was stratified into four distinct groups: MS (characterized by concurrent exposure to heavy metals and smoking), M (exposed solely to heavy metals), S (exposed solely to smoking), and C (comprising individuals serving as a control group).

Objectives: This study aimed to compare clinicopathological features and immunostaining for cytokeratin-10 between oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid lesions.
Design: This was a retrospective longitudinal study comparing lichen planus and oral lichenoid lesions diagnosed at the Oral Pathological Anatomy Service that analyzed sociodemographic and clinicopathological data and CK10 expression. Chi-square tests, Fisher's exact tests and Mann-Whitney tests or Student's t tests were used when appropriate, and p values < 0.
