ABSTRACT
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common carcinoma in the H&N (head and neck) region, in which squamous cells show variability in differentiation like basaloid, glandular, and spindle cells. Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) is an unusual variant of SCC that is aggressive in nature and has the ability to recur and metastasize. The presence of malignant mesenchymal and squamous epithelial cells gives it a biphasic nature. So, we present a case of SpCC of buccal mucosa in a 45-year-old male who had an ulcerated growth on his left buccal mucosa that had been present for two years.
