Cases were analyzed on the basis of the proforma, of the 50 cases site of involvement extent of involvement was noted and investigations carried out accordingly, like routine haemogram, urine analysis, biochemical tests like blood sugar, urea, creatinine and cholesterol, microbiological studies including direct smear, culture and sensitivity and serology. In malignant ulcerative lesions stage I and II lesions of ca tongue, buccal mucosa and hard palate local wide excision done followed by radiotherapy and supportive treatment. One patient with Stage IV, Ca tongue, with LN metastasis and mandibular involvement, hemiglossectomy, hemimandibulectomy and RND followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy was given.
