Malignant non-odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity remain understudied in India, despite their global prevalence. This retrospective analysis examined cases from a single institution in Maharashtra between 1990 and 2021, focusing on patient demographics, clinical presentations, and histopathological features. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) emerged as the predominant malignancy, with epithelial malignancies accounting for 98.6% of cases. A slight male predominance was observed. Buccal mucosa was the most frequent site of occurrence, with tobacco chewing identified as the primary risk factor. This study underscores the need for increased attention to oral malignancies in routine medical examinations and calls for more comprehensive statistical analysis to inform clinical practice and public health strategies.
尽管口腔恶性非牙源性肿瘤在全球普遍存在，但在印度仍未得到充分研究。这项回顾性分析研究了1990年至2021年间来自马哈拉施特拉邦一家机构的病例，重点关注患者人口统计学、临床表现和组织病理学特征。口腔鳞状细胞癌（OSCC）是主要的恶性肿瘤，上皮性恶性肿瘤占病例的98.6%。观察到男性略占优势。颊黏膜是最常见的发病部位，嚼烟草被确定为主要危险因素。本研究强调在常规医学检查中需要更多关注口腔恶性肿瘤，并呼吁进行更全面的统计分析，以为临床实践和公共卫生策略提供依据。
