Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the region, frequency, distribution, age, and sex of histopathologically diagnosed oral malignant and oral potentially malignant lesions obtained from patients admitted to the Department of Pathology, Dicle University Faculty of Medicine, Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Material and Method: The pathological data of oral malignant and potentially malignant lesions histopathologically diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, Dicle University Faculty of Medicine, between 2018 and 2023, were retrospectively reviewed. Potentially malignant and malignant oral lesions were classified, and their distribution according to region, age, and sex was analyzed. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to analyze the conformity of continuous variables to the normal distribution. The type I error level was accepted as 5% in statistical analyses. Results: Among 161 patients with oral or potential malignancy, 76 (47.2%) were female, and 85 (52.8%) were male, with a mean age of 53.9 ± 17.4 years. The most common lesions were found in the buccal mucosa (40.4%). When 104 malignant lesions were analyzed, the most common lesion was oral squamous cell carcinoma with a rate of 75%, and when 57 potentially malignant lesions were analyzed, 38 (66.7%) of the patients had lichen planus, and 19 (33.3%) had leukoplakia. Conclusion: This retrospective study shows the distribution, frequency, and characteristics of malignant lesions in the oral cavity in a group of populations, especially in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, and allows comparison with studies in different populations.

土耳其东南安纳托利亚地区潜在恶性和恶性口腔病变患病率调查：一项为期 5 年的回顾性研究

目的：本研究旨在确定土耳其东南安纳托利亚地区迪卡尔大学医学院病理学系收治的患者中经组织病理学诊断为口腔恶性病变和口腔潜在恶性病变的区域、频率、分布、年龄和性别。材料和方法：对2018年至2023年期间在迪凯尔大学医学院病理系经组织病理学诊断的口腔恶性病变和潜在恶性病变的病理数据进行回顾性回顾。对潜在恶性和恶性口腔病变进行了分类，并根据地区、年龄和性别对其分布情况进行了分析。采用 Shapiro-Wilk 检验分析连续变量是否符合正态分布。统计分析的 I 型误差水平为 5%。结果在161名口腔恶性肿瘤或潜在恶性肿瘤患者中，女性76人（47.2%），男性85人（52.8%），平均年龄（53.9±17.4）岁。最常见的病变位于口腔黏膜（40.4%）。在对 104 例恶性病变进行分析时，最常见的病变是口腔鳞状细胞癌，占 75%；在对 57 例潜在恶性病变进行分析时，38 例（66.7%）患者患有扁平苔藓，19 例（33.3%）患者患有白斑病。结论这项回顾性研究显示了口腔恶性病变在人群中的分布、频率和特征，尤其是在土耳其东南安纳托利亚地区，并可与不同人群的研究进行比较。本文引用方式Kaplan B, Alabalık U, Akşahin C, Çolak M, Ortaç H. 《土耳其东南安纳托利亚地区潜在恶性和恶性口腔病变患病率调查》：一项为期5年的回顾性研究。J Med Dent Invest 2023; 4: e230348. https://doi.org/10.5577/jomdi.e230348
