The aim of the present study was to analyze the prevalence of benign tumors of the orofacial region at a tertiary referral center in the south-western region of Saudi Arabia.
Cases from 2009 to 2014 were retrieved from October 2014 to June 2015 from the archives of the histopathology department of the center. Demographic and clinical details of the patients were recorded.
Of the 714 oral and maxillofacial biopsy specimens, 78 (10.9%) were benign tumors. The mean age and range were 34.6±19.8 and 3-85 year, respectively. Sex distribution was equal. Most tumors were mesenchymal (34.6%), followed by epithelial (26.9%), odontogenic (20.5%), and salivary gland tumors (17.9%). Squamous cell papilloma (20.5%) was the most common, followed by pleomorphic adenoma (15.4%) and fibrous tumors (15.4%).
The low prevalence of benign orofacial tumors found in this study indicates a lack of awareness of the importance of taking biopsy for such lesions. The information reported here emphasizes the need for biopsy investigation for all oral lesions to ascertain appropriate diagnosis.
本研究旨在分析沙特阿拉伯西南部一家三级转诊中心口面部区域良性肿瘤的患病率。
2014年10月至2015年6月,从该中心组织病理学部门档案中检索2009年至2014年的病例。记录患者的人口统计学和临床详细信息。
在714份口腔颌面活检标本中,78份(10.9%)为良性肿瘤。平均年龄和范围分别为34.6±19.8岁和3至85岁。性别分布均衡。大多数肿瘤为间叶性(34.6%),其次是上皮性(26.9%)、牙源性(20.5%)和涎腺肿瘤(17.9%)。鳞状细胞乳头状瘤(20.5%)最为常见,其次是多形性腺瘤(15.4%)和纤维瘤(15.4%)。
本研究中发现的口面部良性肿瘤患病率较低,表明对这类病变进行活检的重要性缺乏认识。此处报告的信息强调了对所有口腔病变进行活检检查以确定适当诊断的必要性。
