Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 34
Abstract
BACKGROUND The oral cavity shows many types of non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. It is liable for different types of epithelial, mesenchymal and lymphoid tumours. 1 It is also prone for injury, trauma or constant irritation by teeth and odontogenic tissue leading to tumour like lesions. They show spectrum of lesions varying from benign cystic lesions, vascular tumours, AV malformations, fibromas, ameloblastoma and malignant tumours. The commonest epithelial malignancy being squamous cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study for a period of 3 years from 2014 to 2017. All the biopsy specimens received in the department of pathology of a tertiary care centre were included in the study. Tissues were routinely grossed and subjected to paraffin embedded processing. The section was stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Results were tabulated. Statistical method adopted was multivariate analysis on excel sheet. RESULTS During this period 11728 biopsies were received at the department of pathology, 257 were tumour and tumour like lesions in the oral cavity and constituted 2.91% of the lesions. CONCLUSION Majority of the studies showed high prevalence of being malignant lesions in the oral cavity. In the present study 94% of cases were malignant lesion especially squamous cell carcinoma with predominance in female population. Majority of the cases had history of chewing betel nut and tobacco especially in the rural and tribal areas.
