Resumen
El carcinoma oral de células escamosas (COCE) es la neoplasia maligna más común de origen
epitelial en la cavidad bucal, suele afectar en su mayoría a hombres mayores de 40 años de edad. Los
sitios de localización más frecuentes son la lengua y el piso de la boca. La etiología es multifactorial
siendo el tabaco y el alcohol los factores de riesgo más importantes. La presentación clínica es variable
y aunque es precedido por cambios visibles en la mucosa oral el diagnóstico suele realizarse de forma
tardía. Un diagnóstico precoz es de importancia crítica para mejorar la sobrevida y los resultados del
tratamiento. El tamizaje del cáncer bucal es efectivo al reducir la mortalidad y morbilidad de cáncer
bucal. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un caso de COCE y evidenciar la importancia de un
diagnóstico precoz utilizando el tamizaje de cáncer bucal, así como la revisión de literatura en cuanto a
esta patología.
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of epithelial origin in the oral cavity, usually affecting men over 40 years of age. The most frequent localization sites are the tongue and the floor of the mouth. The etiology is multifactorial being tobacco and alcohol the most important risk factors. The clinical presentation is variable and although it is preceded by visible changes in the oral mucosa, the diagnosis is usually made late. An early diagnosis is critically important to improve survival and treatment outcomes. Oral cancer screening is effective in reducing the mortality and morbidity of oral cancer. The purpose of this study was to present a case of OSCC and to highlight the importance of an early diagnosis using oral cancer screening, and the review of the relevant literature as for this pathology.
