“…The result obtained in this study is similar to that of Ntomouchtsis et al [17] who studied benign lesions in the lips of 420 patients. The authors found that the hemangiomas were the most common, corresponding to 19.3 %.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of ultrasonography in the establishment of the diagnosis of nonspecific nodular lesions of the oral soft tissues. We determined the indication of use and reliability of ultrasonography in the field of dentistry, considering whether it was of value in the conclusive diagnosis of these pathologies. Materials and Methods We recruited 65 patients from the Oral Medicine Unit of São Lucas Hospital, who had submucosal and subcutaneous nodules, without established diagnosis. They were subjected to ultrasonography of the lesion, carried out with standardization of the protocol and equipment, utilizing a Doppler system. The ultrasonographic report was prepared by an experienced professional, noting the imaging characteristics as well as the possibility of diagnosis. Two calibrated examiners analyzed the data, comparing the ultrasonographic report with the final diagnosis. Accordingly, we used established scoring, where zero corresponded to no contribution to the final diagnosis, 1 helped in the management of the case, and 2 when imaging determined the diagnosis. Results A zero score was obtained for 12.3 % of the examinations performed, and 1 and 2 accounted for respectively 41.5 and 46.1 %, totaling a contribution of about 88 %. Ultrasonography was of value in the diagnosis of vascular lesions in 93.3 % and of neoplasms in 87.5 %. In the salivary gland diseases, it contributed to the final diagnosis in 75 %. Conclusion The results demonstrated that ultrasonography is an effective tool in the determination of the definitive diagnosis of nonspecific nodular lesions of the soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.

“…1 Epidemiologic evaluation of worldwide prevalence, behavior, and distribution of oral mucosal lesions, mainly lip diseases, is very important not only to establish a local form of primary care but also for early detection and correct management in health services. 2,3 Prevalence studies of oral pathologic lesions have been commonly published, and they demonstrate a wide range in distribution rates when different populations were evaluated. 2 A few numbers of studies have focused on only lip lesions, 2,4 most of them based on clinical diagnosis.…”

“…Although we also found that reactive lesions were most common, they were followed in occurrence frequency by benign tumors and disorders of epithelial maturation. Other authors have described similar clinical findings, 15,39,40 but the studies are marked by important methodological variations (e.g., sample size, inclusion of only benign lesions).…”

“…Two previous studies assessed the frequency of lip lesions using histopathological data. 14,39 A study conducted in Brazil 14 involved the retrospective analysis of clinical and histopathological data from 1034 lip lesions diagnosed over a 5-year period in five pathology centers. The authors reported no sex predilection and an age range encompassing the first through the ninth decades of life.…”

Accuracy of clinical diagnosis for the identification of potentially malignant disorders and malignant lip lesions

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of clinical diagnosis for lip lesions based on sensitivity and specificity. The retrospective analysis focused on the detection of lesions caused by potentially malignant disorders (PMDs) and malignant lesions (n = 1195). All cases were classified as benign, PMD, and malignant lesions. Concordance between diagnoses based on clinical examination and those based on histopathological analysis was assessed, and accuracy for the identification of PMD and malignant lesions was calculated. Histopathological analysis revealed 44 lesion types; PMD and malignant lesions comprised 8.3% of all cases. Compared with histopathological analysis, clinical examination showed 97.4% accuracy for the identification of non-malignant and potentially malignant/malignant cases. Degrees of specific sensitivity ranged from 34% to 77% for different lesions, and were highest for autoimmune (77%) and reactive (72%) lesions. Positive and negative predictive values for the identification of PMD and malignant lesions were 81.9% and 98.9%, respectively. Clinical examination showed a high degree of accuracy for the detection of PMD and malignant lip lesions, indicating good reliability.

Benign lip lesions. A 10-year retrospective study

Abstract: Benign lip lesions do not usually pose a problem for the clinician and their surgical management is straightforward. Accurate auditing and detailed statistical analysis aid in disease prevention and help avoid errors in diagnosis and management.
