Abstract

Background: Tissue biopsy is an established method of diagnosis which helps in establishing the various types of lesions. However, contrasting findings may exist depending on facility, personnel available, and geographical region. Aim: To carry out a six-year audit of oral lesions diagnosed through histopathology in our institution. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective review of all histopathologically diagnosed oral lesions within a six-year period. Information retrieved from the patients' record and analyzed were age, sex, occupation, site, and histological diagnosis. Descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were presented. Results: Two hundred and forty-two oral biopsies consisting of 130 females and 112 males were performed during the study period. Patients age ranged from 1 to 82 years with a mean of 30.2 ± 17.6 years. Lesions were mostly located on the mandible and were mainly benign in nature. The most common benign lesion was ameloblastoma, whereas the most common malignant lesion was squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion: The prevalence and pattern of presentation of oral lesions in our center are similar to the previous reports from Nigeria and other parts of the world. There is a need to increase the awareness about oral health and availability of oral histopathological services in our center to improve utilization.

口腔组织病理学诊断:尼日利亚东北部贡贝一家三级医院的6年审计
背景:组织活检是一种公认的诊断方法,有助于确定各种类型的病变。然而,根据设施、可用人员和地理区域的不同,可能存在不同的发现。目的:对本机构通过组织病理学诊断的口腔病变进行为期六年的审计。材料和方法:这是对六年内所有经组织病理学诊断的口腔病变的回顾性审查。从患者记录中检索并分析的信息包括年龄、性别、职业、部位和组织学诊断。给出了频率、百分比、平均值和标准差的描述性统计。结果:在研究期间,共进行了242次口腔活检,包括130名女性和112名男性。患者年龄1~82岁,平均30.2±17.6岁。病变多位于下颌骨,性质以良性为主。最常见的良性病变是成釉细胞瘤,而最常见的恶性病变是鳞状细胞癌。结论:我中心口腔病变的患病率和表现模式与尼日利亚和世界其他地区以前的报告相似。有必要提高我们中心对口腔健康的认识和口腔组织病理学服务的可用性,以提高利用率。
