Background: Cancer archives perform a dynamic role in observing the prevalence of these cancers. The present study was carried out to study the epidemiological and pathological trends of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a local tertiary care hospital. Methods: Tissue samples were taken from the adult patients of both genders undergoing surgery for OSCC after an informed consent following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Socio-demographic information was obtained along with relevant clinical, laboratory findings. Tissue samples were stained with H & E stains and were graded according to Anneroth’s system of histological grading. Data were analysed using SPSS 20.0 and a p value ≤0.05 was taken as significant. Results: The most common site for OSCC was tongue and the most common histological subtype was conventional squamous cell carcinoma, while well differentiated tumours form the largest number in the current study. Conclusions: OSCC is a growing malignancy in Pakistan with significant morbidity and mortality and the findings of the present study will be a valuable addition in the local cancer archives.
