Abstract

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignancy commonly found in the oral cavity with incidence rate of 90%. We reported a 63-year-old male patient, non-smoker and non-drinker farmer, complaining of pain, itching, and stickiness in his tongue for the past 5 weeks. The lesion was treated with a topical anti-inflammatory medication and mouthwash, but did not heal. This case is an OSCC management and need to be alerted to the agricultural sector.
