Abstract

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic scarring and progressive condition affecting the oral cavity, oropharynx and upper portion
(1/3rd) of the esophagus. It is a potentially malignant disorder. It usually presents with trismus as the chronicity progresses with a pal
presentation of the mucosa. Encountering a whitish patch, ulcer or a growth in the bed of Oral submucous fibrosis is something thought
provoking. The malignant transformation potential of Oral submucous fibrosis is comparatively higher than other premalignant
conditions affecting oral cavity. The need for biopsy at any stage of OSF is a necessity to rule out underlying pathogenicity to transform
towards malignancy or dysplasia.
