摘要
Introduction: Clinical and histopathological prognostic parameters of oral squamous cell carcinoma are the topics gaining much attention. One such parameter is muscle invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Muscle invasion is extremely important to know the prognosis and disease outcome. It was found in many studies that muscle invasion is one of the most important predictors of a lymph node metastasis and a poor prognosis. This article focuses on the clinical utility of muscle invasion. Discussion: Muscle invasion although known as a distinct feature in oral squamous cell carcinoma; it's clinical utility is not yet established. Studies have shown muscle invasion to be as reliable as depth of invasion for cervical lymph node metastasis. It's convenience to diagnose and predict makes it more reliable. Conclusion: Muscle invasion is a convenient prognosticator in oral squamous cell carcinoma and should be routinely reported.
