Objectives: To analyze the incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis in cT1/T2 buccal mucosa cancers, correlate it with the depth of invasion and study the percentage of occult metastasis. Through this study, we also attempt to look into subsite-specific buccal mucosa data which are lacking in literature and will help us improve the understanding of the disease. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of the prospectively collected data of 109 patients with cT1/T2 buccal mucosa cancer operated from January 2018 to August 2019 was done. Information regarding the pathological T stage, depth of invasion, presence or absence of cervical node metastasis, occult metastasis, size of the metastatic lymph nodes, and the presence of extracapsular extension was collected from the final histopathology reports. Results: Twenty-five out of 109 (22.94%) patients had cervical node metastasis. Nine out of 93 (9.68%) clinically N0 patients had occult metastasis. No metastasis was observed for the patients with depth of invasion
