Cancer of buccal gingival sulcus lie in close proximity to mandible but tend to invade bone late in the course of disease. Segmental mandibulectomy advocated for these tumors results in cosmetic disfigurement and functional impairment. We, for the first time, describe a mandibular preservation alternative, in form of buccal cortical plate excision, for these tumors.
