Abstract
A case of oral submucous fibrosis in a 45-year-old woman discusses its etiopathogenesis, clinical features of the condition and highlights the strong association of areca nut chewing as the potential factor in the etiology of this condition. Cessation of the areca nut chewing habit and submucosal administration of mitomycin and triamcinolone acetonide along with active physiotherapy exercises showed marked improvement of the condition.
