Abstract

Retromolar area has so much importance due to their spatial relationships with the surrounding structures and cancer of this area can spread to nearby muscles, adipose spaces, and other anatomic structures, such as the soft palate, tonsillar fossa, parapharyngeal space, and the floor of the mouth.


Use of multiplanar computed tomography reconstructions to evaluate normal retromolar trigone anatomy and the main pathways of spread for tumours.


The primary treatment of retromolar trigone carcinoma is radiotherapy and the surgical salvage.


A 58 year old female patient was reported to Darshan Dental & Oral cancer center with complaints of oral ulcer since 6 months. Clinical examination revealed that an ulcer at right alveolar ridge without localized lymphadenopathy. Radiographs revealed minor bone loss at the particular area. Histologically she was diagnosed with well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was advised for the surgical excision with radio-chemo therapy .The patient was under regular follow up.
