Histopathological patterns of Neoplastic gingival lesions: A six year study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 4
Abstract
Gingiva including the jaw bones (maxilla and mandible) is a site for multitude of neoplastic conditions. Traditionally histopathological examination of a tissue biopsy of the suspicious lesion is regarded as the gold standard in diagnosing these lesions. The study was a 6 year retrospective analysis carried out from January 2011 to December 2016 in the Department of Pathology, Agartala Govt. Medical College and Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital. Out of 63 neoplastic gingival lesions 25 (39.68%) were benign, 3 (4.76%) were premalignant and 35 (55.56%) were malignant. Benign lesions were common in 11-30 years age group, premalignant lesions in 31-50 years age and malignant lesions were commonly seen after 60 years of age. Overall mandible (56 cases) was more commonly affected than maxilla (7 cases). In this study majority of malignant cases were squamous cell carcinoma (91.43%), followed by one case each of verrucous carcinoma, Ewing sarcoma and ameloblastic carcinoma. Benign lesions were classified as dentigerous cyst (36%), radicular cyst (20%), hemangioma (20%), fibrous dysplasia (8%), squamous papilloma (4%), calcifying odontogenic tumor (4%), peripheral odontogenic fibroma (4%) and aneurysmal bone cyst (4%). Overall male predominance was noted. As premalignant lesions one case of squamous papilloma with severe dysplasia was reported in a male patient and two females were diagnosed with ameloblastoma. In our study, an attempt has been made to study the histopathological patterns and age, gender and site wise distribution of various neoplastic gingival lesions reported in our institute and to compare the results with reports from other parts of the world. Based on Indian literature survey to date, we are herewith reporting the first time study of this nature from our state.
