Objective This study aims to observe the distribution of oral normal variances in cigarette factory workers. An essential aspect of diagnosing oral mucosal lesions is differentiating between abnormalities and normal oral variances. Workers from cigarette factories tend to neglect their oral health because of their occupational environment. Lack of awareness in identifying oral mucosal conditions led to poor oral health of cigarette factory worker. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study; the sample population included 101 cigarette factory workers who participated in oral screening. The predictor variables in this study included all oral normal variances. Results The prevalence of oral normal variances in this study was as the following: torus palatinus (62.38%), crenated tongue (51.49%), coated tongue (46.53%), linea alba buccalis (37.62%), fissured tongue (25.74%), prominent Stensen's duct (17.82%), lingual varix (9.90%), ankyloglossia (4.95%), torus mandibularis (3.96%), Fordyce's spots (1.98%), frictional keratosis (1.98%), and macroglossia (0.99%). Conclusion Top three common normal oral variances among cigarette factory workers are torus palatinus followed by crenated tongue and coated tongue.

“…Additionally reported are a catastrophic cryptococcus CNS infection ( 10 ) and two interesting thyroid carcinoma cases: thyroid follicular carcinoma presenting as metastatic skin lesions ( 11 ) and sarcoidosis which was initially mistaken for pre-existing papillary thyroid cancer ( 12 ). There is also a tongue image indicating amyloidosis ( 13 ). Our radiology series reports a unique seizure presentation caused by a colloid cyst at the Foramen of Monroe ( 14 ).…”
