Résumé -Introduction :Le carcinome épidermoïde oral est habituellement diagnostiqué chez des patients alcoolo-tabagiques entre 50 et 60 ans. Des cas de carcinomes épidermoïdes oraux sont de plus en plus rapportés chez des patients jeunes sans facteurs de risques habituels, entrainant une errance diagnostique et un mauvais pronostic. Observation : Le diagnostic tardif d'un carcinome épidermoïde mandibulaire survenu chez un jeune patient de 27 ans sans facteurs de risque est rapporté. En dépit d'un traitement chirurgical, d'une chimiothérapie ciblée, et d'une radiothérapie, le patient n'a pas survécu. Discussion : L'interprétation des informations cliniques pourrait aider à comprendre ce qui provoque l'apparition prématurée de ces cancers et leur agressivité.Abstract -Discovery of squamous cell carcinoma of the retromolar trigone in a young adult without risk factors. Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is usually diagnosed in a context of alcohol and tobacco intoxication in patients between 50 and 60 years of age. Cases of OSCC are increasingly found in young patients without any of the usual risk factors, resulting in diagnostic uncertainty and poor prognosis. Case report: This article reports a case of late diagnosis of mandibular OSCC in a young 27-year-old male patient with no risk factors. Despite surgical treatment combined with targeted chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient did not survive. Discussion: Interpretation of clinical data might help in understanding what underlies early development of these cancers and their aggressiveness.
