Evaluation of the pattern and mechanism of bony invasion in gingivobuccal sulcus and gingival squamous cell carcinoma and its correlation with the regional lymph node metastasis: A histopathological study

Conclusion In our attempt to study the tumor invasion into the bone, we found no significant correlation between the pattern and mechanism of invasion and the regional lymph node metastasis. A possible treatment guide through our study to the surgeon from our side is to prevent aggressive resections and to preserve the integrity of the jaw and thus, to provide the maximum probability of cure and maintain the quality of life.
