Abstract
Aim: To study spectrum and histopathology of premalignant and malignant lesions of oral cavity. Introduction: Oral health is important for the quality of life of all individuals. Oral cancer is the most common cancer in the Indian subcontinent accounting for 40% of all cancers as compared to 2-4% of malignancies in the west. Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study over a period of one year. Histopathological examination of total number of 302 casesfor a period of one year from January 2016 to December 2016 was done. Results: Out of 302 cases, 261 were malignant tumorsand 41were premalignant. Among malignant tumors most common was Well differentiated squamous cell carcinomaand among premalignant lesions most common was Leukoplakia with dysplasia. Peak incidence of tumors of both premalignant and malignant lesions was in the age group of 40-60yrs. Conclusion: Histopathology is the current gold standard for diagnosis andhistopathologic assessment of a tissue biopsy for suspicious lesion.
