description The diagnosis and confirmation of oral SCC (squamous cell carcinoma) is still dependent on histopathology report in spite of development of radiological investigations. It is, thus important to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and how the alterations in metabolic pathways effect the tumor development and progression. The simultaneous and comprehensive information about the presence and absence of small molecule metabolites and their relative concentrations has been provided by 1H HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy on tissue specimens. In this paper a unique case study was presented in order to correlate histological and NMR spectroscopic findings. The patient’s initially lesion was found to be non-malignant in nature based on histological findings but its periodic localized recurrence even after laser ablation prompted us to perform HR-MAS based analysis and its role in identifying the metabolic alterations in known pathways occurring during its progressions. Thus it was confirmed after analysis that HR-MAS NMR can also be used as an analytical tool which is reliable in order to distinguish between malignant and non-malignant tissues, in combination with histopathology.
