“…3 In a study done by Mishra et al history of smoking was there in 34.7% and history of chewing beetle nut was 18.1% which is almost analogous to our study. 10 However our results were not comparable with study done by Ali et al in which 70.1% of patients had history of smoking. 11 In our study, percentage of tobacco and beetle nut use was significantly less compared to other studies.…”

Background: Oral mucosa reflects the general health of an individual. In certain systemic diseases oral cavity may be affected first or it could the only clue to diagnosis. Hence skin examination is never complete without the examination of mucosae. Aims and objectives were to find out the frequency and diversity of oral mucosal lesions in patients attending Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy (DVL) outpatient department (OPD).Methods: This was a hospital based observational study. All patients with oral mucosal lesions fulfilling the inclusion &exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Detailed history, physical examination and clinical photographs were recorded for all the patients.Results: The prevalence oral mucosal lesions among dermatological patients is 1.04% with a female predilection and the mean age was 38.44±17.30. Majority of the patients belonged to the age group of 31-60 years. Established risk factors for developing oral lesions like tobacco and beetle nut use was found in only 24% and 16% of the patients respectively. Twenty% (21%) of the patients were diabetic and the commonest oral lesions in them was oral candidiasis. Eighteen% (18%) of the patients presented with only oral complaints, while 82% of patients came with skin complaints and their oral lesions were incidental findings. Out of 82 patients with dermatological diseases specific mucocutaneous diseases were seen in 44% of patients. Most common dermatological diseases seen were vitiligo, lichen planus and pemphigus vulgaris.Conclusions: Knowing the prevalence of oral lesions as a part of mucocutaneous disorders would help sensitise other specialities the need to examine oral cavity in order to attain appropriate and early diagnosis.

“…In present study major premalignant types were Leukoplakia (n=115; 45.45%), OSMF (n=82; 32.41%) and Erythroplakia (n=24; 9.49%) while major benign/nonmalignant types were Aphthous ulcer major (n=98; 49.75%), geographical tongue (n=57; 28.93%) and traumatic ulcer (n=30; 15.23%). Similar to our study, Ambedkar et al 15 and Mishra et al 16 , also found Leukoplakia to comprise 37.8% and 41.6% of premalignant lesions in their series. Jagtap et al 18 in their study found Leukoplakia to comprise 68.41% of their study population.…”

Objective: To describe the epidemiology of non-malignant oral lesions in a rural population attending a tertiary care centre in Lucknow, India. Method: A total of 340 patients presenting with oral lesions for more than 2 weeks were enrolled in the study. Patients with proven malignancy, white patch in the oral cavity which can be scrapped off, e.g. oral candidiasis and urban patients were excluded from the assessment. Demographic profile, adverse oral habits and dietary habits of patients were noted. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software. Data has been represented as number and percentages. Results: Age of patients enrolled in the study ranged between 18 and 75 years, median age was 32 years and mean age was 33.86±10.65 years. Majority were aged 26-50 years (66.2%), were males (55.3%), were farmers/labourers (58.6%), were illiterate/educated upto primary grade (57.1%). Oral pain and burning sensation was the most common presenting complaint (45%). All the patients have two or more of the following habits – areca nut chewing, tobacco chewing and smoking. A total of 41.5% patients had all the three habits. Alcohol and spicy food consumption were reported by 12.6% and 84.4% patients. On histopathology, a total of 191 (56.18%) cases had premalignant lesions and 149 (43.82%) had benign lesions. Major premalignant types were leukoplakia (n=87; 45.5%), OSMF (n=62; 32.5%) and Erythroplakia (n=18; 9.4%). Aphthous ulcer major (n=74; 49.7%), geographical tongue (n=43; 28.9%) and traumatic ulcer (n=23; 15.4%) were the major benign lesions. Conclusion: In a rural population presenting with non-premalignant oral lesions areca nut, chewing tobacco and smoking were the major etiologies affecting mainly young adults. The high prevalence of premalignant lesions showed a high potential of their transformation to malignant status. Preventive measures with modification of oral habits are recommended. Keywords: Non-malignant oral lesions, Leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis, aphthous ulcer major, rural.

Background: The objective of the study was to study the spectrum of premalignant oral lesions in rural North Indian population at a tertiary care hospital.Methods: A total of 340 patients with oral lesions for more than 2 weeks were enrolled in the study. Patients with proven malignancy, white patch in the oral cavity which can be scrapped off, e.g. oral candidiasis and urban patients were excluded. Biopsy specimen was obtained from all the patients and evaluated histopathologically. Site, nature and type of oral lesion were determined. Demographic data and exposure to different risk factors was also noted. Findings were correlated using Chi-square test. Results: Premalignant lesions were seen in 191 (56.18%) cases. They included leukoplakia (n=87; 45.5%), OSMF (n=62; 32.5%), Erythroplakia (n=18; 9.4%), lichen planus (n=15; 7.9%), melanoplakia/ melanosis (n=8; 4.2%) and DLE (n=1; 0.5%) respectively. Most common sites affected by premalignant lesions were buccal mucosa (n=173; 90.6%), retromolar area (n=42; 22%). Majority of patients with premalignant lesions were aged 26-50 years (78.5%), males (62.8%), farmers/labourers (56%) and illiterate/educated upto primary level (57.1%). Almost all the patients had two or more adverse oral habits with areca nut chewing being most common (69.6%) followed by tobacco chewing (66%) and smoking (60.2%) respectively. Majority had these addictions for >5 years (66%).Conclusions: Leukoplakia and OSMF dominated the premalignant lesions in rural patients having low education and high prevalence of adverse oral habits for prolonged duration.
