The document discusses squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the alveolar ridge, which is a type of tumor that can occur on the upper or lower alveolar ridge. The upper alveolar ridge runs from the anterior maxillary gingivobuccal sulcus/vestibule to the hard palate and pterygopalatine arch. The lower alveolar ridge extends along the mandible. Surgical treatments for tumors in these areas include infrastructure maxillectomy for upper ridge tumors and marginal/segmental mandibulectomy for lower ridge tumors.
