Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic utility ofp53 in differentiating oral squamous papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma. Study Design:A cross-sectional study. Setting: Pathology Department of Shaukat Khanum Memorial CancerHospital and Research Center Lahore. Period: Six months (6-10-10 to 6-04-11). Patients andMethods: A total of 100 oral biopsies fulfilling the inclusion criteria were collected. The expressionof P53 was observed in biopsies of squamous papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma. Datawas entered and analyzed on SPSS version 20 and was analyzed in same package. Sensitivity,specificity, positive predictive and negative predictive values were calculated along theirconfidence intervals at 95% level. Results: One hundred oral lesions were studied, of which 90cases were of squamous cell carcinoma and 10 cases were of squamous papilloma. Majorityof the patients were male (60%). Mean age was 46 years. P53 IHC stain had sensitivity of 92%and specificity of 80% and diagnostic utility of 91% in lesions of squamous cell carcinoma.Conclusion: P53 is positively expressed in oral squamous cell carcinoma and is negativein squamous papilloma. Hence evaluation of p53 expression can be a useful adjunct in thediagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma, especially in cases where it is difficult to distinguishbetween these two entities on morphological grounds.
