口腔粘膜下纤维化在英国少数民族的成年人群中很常见，尽管在儿童中的表现很罕见。虽然这种情况被认为是多因素和不可逆的，我们提出了一个12岁的孟加拉国男孩的口腔粘膜下纤维化的情况下，停止习惯性咀嚼槟榔和用力咀嚼运动导致改善他的开口，虽然他伸出舌头的能力仍然没有改变。本文介绍了粘膜下纤维性变的临床特点、发病机制和治疗方法。广泛使用的槟榔在英国的亚洲人之间的总结和重要性，它的承认作为一个癌前状态被强调。
Oral submucous fibrosis is commonly seen in the adult population of the ethnic minorities in the UK, although its presentation in a child is rare. Whilst the condition is considered multifactorial and irreversible, we present a case of oral submucous fibrosis in a 12-year-old Bangladeshi boy whose cessation of habitual betel nut chewing and forcible mouth chewing exercises led to an improvement in his mouth opening, although his ability to protrude his tongue remained unaltered. The clinical features, pathogenesis and management of submucous fibrosis are described. The widespread use of betel quid among Asians in the UK is summarized and the importance of its recognition as a precancerous condition is emphasized.
