“…[178][179][180][181][182][183] Three prospective case-control studies indicated that young patients with HNSCC have the same risk factors as do older patients. A hospital-based, case-control study conducted in Italy and Switzerland compared risk factors for oral and pharyngeal cancers among 137 patients under the age of 45 to age-, sex-and hospital-matched controls.…”

Oral cancer incidence rates rose dramatically during the twentieth century in the United States and Europe, especially among individuals under the age of 60 years. Although influenced by age, sex, and country of origin, incidence trends were most strongly affected by elevated risk among individuals born after approximately 1915. This cohort effect was indicative of strong behavioral influences on oral cancer risk. In this article, associations between oral cancer risk and established behavioral risk factors including alcohol and tobacco use are reviewed. Additionally, possible associations between oral cancer risk and oral hygiene, diet, nutritional status, and sexual behavior as well as the influence of genetic factors on oral cancer risk are considered. Special emphasis is placed on evaluating possible risk differences in individuals above and below the age of 45 and in users and nonusers of alcohol and tobacco. Oral squamous cell carcinomas arise from several anatomic sites within the oral cavity and oropharynx, but most commonly from the oral, mobile tongue.1 In the 1980s, 2 cancer centers in the United States (U.S.) reported an increase in the proportion of incident oral tongue cancers diagnosed in men younger 40 years.2,3 Although absolute numbers had increased, these reports provided no real evidence of rising incidence. Shortly thereafter, however, a significant 2-fold increase in oral tongue cancer mortality rates between 1950 and 1982 was reported in the U.S. for men younger than 30 years. 4 This finding was corroborated by a study in Scotland. 5 Further analysis of the Scottish data revealed that the increase in incidence was not restricted to those younger than 40 but extended to all age groups less than 65 years of age born after 1920-a strong ''cohort effect.'' The cohort effect was indicated by a strong effect of year of birth on oral cancer incidence rates. A flurry of research on global changes in oral cancer incidence was stimulated by these reports.

“…[12] Sankaranarayanan et al compared percentage of patients without tobacco habit in younger and older individuals and found that 82% of patients under 30 years of age and only 10 % of patients above 30 years of age did not had tobaccorelated habits. [13] Whereas Miller et al found in their study that most of the patients with OSCC tongue, who were under 40 years of age had a habit of heavy smoking and drinking. [14] The patient in our case gave a history of tobacco chewing in form of gutkha and alcohol consumption for the past 5 years.…”

“…Many studies have been conducted to compare aggressiveness and recurrence rates of OSCC tongue in younger and older patients and shown higher recurrence rate and a smaller survival rate in the younger patients. [12][13][14][15] The commonest site of OSCC was tongue, followed by buccal mucosa, lips and floor of mouth. The site of OSCC in our case was left lateral border of tongue.…”

Oral Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm affecting oral cavity, generally seen in individuals over 50 years of age and rarely before 40 years of age. As OSCC is rare in younger group, it may be often misdiagnosed resulting in inappropriate treatment leading to poor survival rates. Here we report a case of OSCC of left lateral border of the tongue in a 38 year old male patient and also review its literature.
