Background: Histopathological parameters markers as potential predictive factors for LN metastasis.
Objective: The study is designed to compare various histomorphological factors in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma with respect to Lymph Node
metastasis.
Materials and methods: A prospective, comparative study conducted at Bhagwan Mahaveer Cancer Hospital and Research Center Jaipur. Data
regarding the histomorphological parameter were analyzed.
Results: 100 cases of of oral squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed in present study.. Most common site for oral squamous cell carcinoma in this
study was buccal mucosa in 62% of cases. In present study, of the total 79 cases with Grade 1 degree of differentiation, 31 cases had LN metastasis
while 42 cases were negative for LN involvement. Out of 100 patients, 43 cases showed PNI while in 57 cases PNI was absent and 41 cases showed
LVI while in 59 cases LVI was absent. Among 100 cases, 22 cases had marked lymphocytic response, 69 cases lymphocytic response was moderate
while in 9 cases it was mild lymphocytic response. pattern comprising of WPOI IV& Vwere 31 and 45 respectively.
Conclusion: Buccal mucosa was the commonest subsite of origin of primary carcinoma in the oral cavity and size of primary tumor did not affect
the rate of cervical lymph node metastasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
