Abstract:
Background: The prevalence of oral cancer is particularly high among men, the eighth most common cancer worldwide. Incidence rates for oral cancer vary in men from 1 to 10 cases per 100 000 populations in many countries. Early diagnosis and timely intervention can change the natural history of the tumour. The aim of this study is identify and analyze the Clinico-pathological aspects of oral malignancies by a prospective case series study has been chosen.
Methods: This is a prospective study conducted at Department of General Surgery from December 2015 to November 2017. Patients having malignant neoplasm of lip, cheek, alveolus, tongue, floor of mouth and hard palate were included. Thorough examination of oral cavity was done and site of growth was noted.
Results: Squamous cell carcinoma was more common in 50 – 59 years (n=19) and Adenoid cystic carcinoma was also more common in 40 – 49 years (n=2). All the lesion present in age of above 50 years were of squamous cell carcinoma. Among male patients, most common type of lesion was Ulcerative (63.9%) followed by infiltrating (27.8%) but among females, most common type of lesion was ulcerative (78.6%) followed by infiltrating (14.3%) and papillary (7.1%) and this association of gender with type of lesion is found to be statistically not significant.
Conclusions: Clinical presentation varied according to the age group, whereas Lymph node status varied significantly according to size and depth of infiltration of lesion.
