Oralsubmucous fibrosis is regarded as a collagen metabolic disorder with an overall increased collagen production and decreased collagen degradation resulting in increased collagen deposition in the oral tissues, and fibrosis due to alkaloid exposure. We report three case reports of oral submucous fibrosis. Clinical findings and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of stage 2 oral submucous fibrosis. The patient was educated on the effects of areca nut and chances of malignant transformation.
