ABSTRACT
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a serious global issue, with the prognosis decreasing as the disease severity increases. The implications of this condition are so disastrous that they cause a lot of suffering for the individual. Early diagnosis has proven to improve patients' overall survival and quality of life. Surgery remains the mainstay in treating oral carcinoma. It is aimed at the complete removal of the cancerous lesion along with the management of cervical nodal metastasis. Larger defects call for reconstruction with bulky flaps. In our case, we had a composite defect postresection of the cancerous lesion, which was reconstructed using a bipaddled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.
