Abstract
El carcinoma oral de células escamosas (COCE) es la neoplasia maligna más común en la cavidad
bucal. Su etiología es multifactorial, siendo los factores de riesgo más importantes el consumo de tabaco y alcohol. Afecta predominantemente a personas mayores, en su gran mayoría del sexo masculino, a
partir de los 40 años con un pico máximo a la edad de los 60 años. Las localizaciones más habituales
son la lengua y el piso de la boca. La presentación clínica es variable, destaca tipo ulcerativo, como
leucoplasia, eritroplasia o la combinación de ambas. Con frecuencia su comportamiento es agresivo
y el diagnóstico suele realizarse de forma tardía, con lesiones de considerable tamaño e invasivas en
profundidad. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un caso de COCE en estadio avanzado, localizado
en la mucosa yugal izquierda y evidenciar la importancia de un diagnóstico precoz.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignancy in the oral cavity. Its etiology is multifactorial, being the most important risk factors tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption. Predominantly affects older people, mostly male, from 40 years with a peak at the age of 60 years. The most common locations are the tongue and floor of the mouth. The clinical presentation is variable, highlights ulcerating type, such as leukoplakia, erythroplasia or a combination of both. Often their behavior is aggressive and the diagnosis is often made at a late stage, with lesions of considerable size and invasive in depth. The aim of this paper is to present a case of OSCC in advanced stage, located in the left buccal mucosa and demonstrate the importance of early diagnosis.
