Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the histopathological findings of the excised lesions from oral mucosa and determine the type and frequency of oral mucosa diseases in Kirşehir region. Material and Methods: The histopathology results of 237 patients with oral mucosa lesions who administered to Kirşehir Training and Research Hospital Dermatology Outpatient Clinic and underwent incisional or excisional biopsy between December 2014 and July 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. The demographic characteristics of the patients, disease duration, localisation and frequency of the lesions, the frequency of benign and malignant lesions were recorded. Results: Ninety three (39.2%) male and 144 (60.8%) female patients were recruited in our study. The mean age of the patients was 44.33±1.21 years. A total of 237 oral mucosa lesions were detected. The most common benign lesions were intradermal nevi (n=56, 23.6%) followed by inflammatory granulation tissue (n=25, 10.5%), fibromas (n=26, 11%), mucocele (n=21, 8.9%), pyogenic granuloma (n=16, 6.7%), irritation fibromas (n=14, 5.9%), squamous papilloma (n=8, 3.4%), verruca vulgaris (n=6, 2.5%), lichen planus (n=6, 2.5%), hemangiomas (n=5, 2.1%). The most common malignant lesions were squamous cell carcinoma (n=9, 3.8%) and basal cell carcinoma (n=7, 2.9%), followed by lymphoma (n=1, 0.4%) and basosquamous cell carcinoma (n=1, 0.4%). Conclusion: In our study, the vast majority (92.8%) of the lesions detected in oral mucosa were benign lesions while malignant lesions constituted a small proportion. Gaining knowledge about the distribution of oral mucosal diseases may contribute to prevention and treatment of these diseases. © 2022 OrtadogŸu Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S..
