Abstract
The prevalence and incidence of oral lesions are uncommon. Many of these lesions can be identified as specific entities on the basis of their histopathological features and are divided into epithelial, fibrous, vascular and giant cell type. Smoking, drinking alcohol and chewing tobacco products are common habits in India, which have been positively associated with oral lesions. Oral cancers account for over 30% of all cancers in India. Despite this fact, in Indian scenario, the oral cancers are reported late, due to lack of awareness and poverty. The aim of the present study was to determine the cytological and histopathological patterns of oral cavity lesions and to know the prevalence of various premalignant and malignant lesions in 100 patients. For cytological examination, FNAC and oral brush cytology was conducted and histopathological study of biopsy specimen was also done and compared. This comprehensive investigation has led to the conclusion that squamous cell carcinoma is the most malignant tumor seen dominantly affecting the rural male population.The benign lesions acknowledged were the cysts and vesiculo-bullous lesions, noticed predominantly in urban females. Leukoplakia emerged as the most common premalignant lesion. Clinically the various lesions presented as mass, ulcer, plaque and cysts. The sites involved primarily are tongue and buccal mucosa.
