ABSTRACT
Purpose: The objective of this study is to bring in light the diagnosis and treatment plan for carcinoma of the gingivobuccal complex and the alveolus of mandible. Materials and Methods: The patient was treated in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, CDCRI. The surgical procedure comprised of primary tumourectomy with hemimandibulectomy and modified radical neck dissection. The defect was reconstructed with a region Pectoralis major myocutenous flap (PMMC). Results: The resected tumour mass along with the ipsilateral lymph nodes were separately sent for biopsy which confirmed a safe surgical margin. The regular monitoring and medicinal coverage relieved the patient from her complaints of discomfort. Conclusion: The diagnosis and timely surgical intervention for a gingivobuccal complex and mandibular alveolar carcinoma proves paramount in the genre of carcinoma management.
