It is quite possible that such pathologies might get overlooked because of primary focus on the malignancy at the surgical margins. With this view in mind, a retrospective observational study has been designed to re-visit the surgical margins of OSCC for the possible presence of unexpected pathologies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of 96 cases (four surgical margins in each case) of OSCC were carefully examined under a compound microscope by two oral pathologists for the presence of any additional pathology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Out of 96 specimens of OSCC, 76 (79.2%) cases showed the presence of accidental pathologies. The surgical margins of 20 (20.8%) cases showed no evidence of any pathology, whereas the margins of 23 (23.95%) cases were associated with more than one pathology. The most commonly observed accidental pathology was oral submucous fibrosis (40.625%), followed by leukoedema (16.675%), retention cysts (10.42%), and calcifications (7.3%). The mucous extravasation phenomenon (6.25%), minor salivary gland (MSG) inflammation (6.25%), and lichen planus (5.21%) were also observed in the surgical margins of OSCC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A significant number of accidental pathologies exist at the surgical margins of OSCC. This effect could be because of over-emphasis on the tumour status at the surgical margins, which leads to over-looking of minor pathologies.<\/jats:p>\n
