It's in the area under the tongue. Common place for people who chew tobacco to get cancer.
"Buccal" means "cheek" and not the tongue. "Mucosa," in this instance, means the tissue lining the inside of your cheek. "Buccal mucosa cancer" means "cheek lining cancer." It would indeed be a common site for those who chew tobacco.
