Oral submucous fibrosis is a chronic, progressive, irreversible and yet avoidable collagen metabolic disorder of the mouth caused by chewing areca nut in betel quid or its variants. It resembles scleroderma but is localised to the mouth. There is an associated increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth.
