“…(8) more number of benign cases were reported which was compatible with our study.The most common benign lesion was epidermoid cyst(50.9%), similar with the Singhal U et al study (7). In the present study, the general topography indicated that oral cavity was most commonly affected by squamous cell carcinoma.Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequently encountered malignancy in Sharma M et al study (6), Compatible with our study. This could be attributed to major preventable risk factors which are tobacco use, betel quid chewing and alcohol consumption.…”

“…In our study the maximum number of 89 (27.7%) biopsies was reported in the 11-20 years age group. This may be due to the high frequency of these lesions in this age group and secondly, the parents of children and young adults are more worried and seek early medical attention than elderly patients 10 .Sharma M et al in their study found maximum number of cases in 40-50 years age group. 10 Lei F et al found the maximum number of cases in 50-59 years age group.…”

“…9 In India these accounts for 23% of all cancers in males and 6% in females and about 5% of all child hood malignancies. 10,11 The major symptoms of head and neck cancer are nonhealing ulcers, difficulty in breathing, difficulty in swallowing, change in voice etc.…”

Introduction: Head and neck lesions are very common in day to day practice. These diseases range from common cold to the uncommon, malignant neoplasms. These lesions are responsible for very high morbidity and mortality. Factors known to contribute to the risk of developing head and neck cancer are smokeless tobacco (Pan masala, soda), alcohol, HPV viral infections, etc. Smokeless tobacco is commonly used in Northern part of India, especially in Uttar Pradesh. Aim: To evaluate the diagnosis, frequency and histopathological subtypes of head and neck lesions and their distribution in different age groups and sex in Western Uttar Pradesh. Settings and Design: A retrospective study of 3 years from March 2014 to February 2017 was conducted and the data were collected from the archives of the department. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 15.0. Materials and Methods: All the biopsies from the head and neck region, which were submitted for histopathology in the Post Graduate department of Pathology, Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly, were reviewed and analyzed for their demographic profile, age, gender, site and diagnosis. The lesions were then categorized accordingly as inflammatory, benign and malignant. Results: All the lesions of head and neck region, diagnosed on histopathology were included in the present study. A total of three hundred twenty one biopsies were studied, including 212 (66%) males and 109 (34%) females (M: F=1.9:1). 197 (61%) of the cases were benign, followed by 69 (22%) malignant and 55 (17%) inflammatory lesions. The maximum numbers of malignant cases were in the age group of 41 to 50 years with Squamous cell carcinoma as the most common histopathological type. The most common site of malignant lesions was the oral cavity. The maximum benign lesions were in the 11-20 years age group. Conclusions: The present study helped us in assessing the frequency as well as the different histopathological types of head and neck lesions in different age groups and gender in this part of the country.

Introduction. Skin and soft tissue diseases form a large and heterogeneous group of mesenchymal extraskeletal and dermatologic lesions in humans. Diseases of the skin and soft tissue can develop virtually anywhere in the body, extremities, the trunk, the retroperitoneum, the head, and the neck. Our study aims to review skin and soft tissue specimens from our centre describing the histopathological patterns. Method. A cross sectional study was done using secondary data of all skin and soft tissue specimens over a 3 year period. Patients’ demographics, sites of specimen, and histological diagnoses were extracted from the surgical day book. The data were analysed in terms of age and sex distribution and histological characteristics of pathologic lesions using the SPSS version 22. The data for these patients were presented in tables and figures. Result. 451 skin and soft tissue specimens constituting 18% of all the specimens with an M : F ratio of 1 : 1.2. The age range of our patients was 4–85 years with a mean of 33.52 ± 15.05 years. The peak age of occurrence was 30–39 years. Most of our cases were seen in the extremities (50.7%) followed by head (22.2%), while the least common sites were the perineal and neck areas (5.3% each). The commonest site in females was the upper limb (32.4%); the head and lower limb were the commonest sites in males (28.4% each). Most of our patients have neoplastic lesions of skin and soft tissue constituting 68.3%, inflammatory lesions (16.9%), and the least common lesion being hamartoma (0.2%). The most common category of lesions includes inflammatory (nonspecific dermatitis 6.5%); cysts (dermoid cyst 6%); reactive (hypertrophic scar 1%); and neoplastic (lipoma 32.4%). The benign neoplasms were more common (92.9%) than the malignant ones (7.1%). The neoplastic lesions were relatively more common in males than females and the reverse was true for the inflammatory lesions. Conclusion. Skin and soft tissue lesions are relatively common in our environment with majority being benign neoplastic lesion.
