Abstract
Introduction An ‘Ulcer’ is defined as an open sore, an interruption of surface continuity of skin or mucous membrane withaccompanyinginflammation . It is more justifiable to classify the ulcers as non-malignant and malignant conditions. Oropharynx although refers to a rather small area of pharynx yet to find an ulcer in the area which contains a very important structure – ‘the tonsils’ is not uncommon. Purpose: The aims of my study are to observe & study different ulcers of oral cavity & oropharynx. Methords: The present study includes observation on 100 cases of ulcers in oral cavity & oropharynx, from point of view of knowing their types. All these cases were taken from the surgery out-patients department as well as from the E.N.T.out-patients department of the Darbhanga Medical College Hospital from Aug. 2011 to July 2013. A detailed history was taken and complete general and through examination of ear, nose and throat of the patients was done. Results: The ratio between the malignant non – malignant ulcer was found to be 2.1.Out of 68 cases of Malignant ulcer, 62 cases were sq. cell carcinoma, 4 lymphosarcoma& 2 cases of adenocarcinoma.The maximum incidence was that caused by Aphthous ulcer constituting 31% of non-malignant ulcer.The Maximum age incidence of 47.06% was observed in 51-60 yrs. age groups followed by 61-70 yrs age group which comprised 36.76%.males are affected more then females. ConclusionMalignant ulcer (68%) of oral cavity & oropharynx were much more common than non-malignant ulcers (32%)due to presence of predisposing factors like smoking,pan chewing,betal and tobacco chewing. Incidence of scc is highest in malignant ulcers whereas aphthous is commonest among non malignant ulcer. Incidence is higher inhindu males.it is also more common among smokers
