Retrospective Study of Feline Oral Cavity Neoplasms and Non-neoplastic Lesions, Between 2010 and 2020

Oral cancer is one of a major health problem in some parts of the world especially in the developing countries. Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world whereas in India it is one of the most prevalent cancer. Oral cavity lesions are usually asymptomatic. Accurate diagnosis of the lesion is the first step for the proper management of patients and histopathology is considered as the gold standard. The objective is to study the different patterns of oral cavity lesions seen in a tertiary care hospital of Jammu: One year retrospective study. Post graduate department of pathology.: It was a retrospective study carried out in a tertiary care centre for a period of one year from March 2020 to Feb 2021. 148 cases of oral cavity lesions were included in this study. The parameters that were included in the study were sociodemographic data, site of the lesion, clinical features and histological diagnosis. Data collected was analysed.148 cases of oral lesions were identified during the period of study. The age of patients varied from 5 to 78years and Male to Female ratio was 2.2:1. Buccal mucosa (30%) was the most common site involved which was followed by tonsil (19%). Out of 148 cases 70 cases were malignant, 10 cases pre malignant and 21 cases were benign. Squamous cell carcinoma (33.7%) was the most common lesion present in our study. Oral cavity lesions have a vast spectrum of diseases which range from tumour like lesions to benign and malignant tumours. Our study concluded that squamous cell carcinoma was the most common malignant lesion of oral cavity. Histological typing of the lesion is important for confirmation of malignancy and it is essential for the proper management of the patient.

Mucosal Lesions

Introduction: Oral mucosa can be affected by a variety of soft tissue lesions and conditions. Benign as well as malignant lesions of oral cavity are common. Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the commonest malignancies. The present retrospective study was undertaken to study the prevalence of various oral mucosal lesions in a tertiary care dental hospital of Kathmandu. Methods: This retrospective study was carried out in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology at Kantipur Dental College and Teaching hospital from January 2015 to January 2017. The study included biopsy specimen from the oral cavity. The parameters included in the study were age, gender, site of the lesion and histopathological diagnosis. The data collected was statistically analyzed. Results: A total of 111 biopsy cases were included in the present study. Out of which, there was 16 (14.4%) cases of non neoplastic and 16 (14.4%) cases of benign pathology. The oral cavity lesions were commonly seen in age range between 6-74 years where males 59 (53.2%) were mostly affected. The most common site for oral lesion was buccal mucosa 23 (20.7%) and anterior gingiva 23 (20.7%). 15 (13.5%) cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma were seen as the predominant malignancy affecting in the vestibular region 8 (7.2%). Conclusions: The present study shows benign as well as the non neoplastic lesions were more prevalent in oral mucosa with the buccal mucosa and anterior gingiva as the commonest site of occurrence.

Background: Epulides, tumors of periodontal origin, are commonly reported in dogs and infrequently in cats. But its documentation among wild animals is scarce. Retrospective study of the available literature did not find any report of epulis in sloth bears, though dental pathology is common in captive sloth bears. The present study depicts the details about an incidence of bilateral epulides in a captive sloth bear of Nandankanan Zoological Park, Bhubaneswar, India and its successful surgical management.Methods: A male sloth bear aged about 15 years, developed bilateral swellings at the upper jaw, protruding out of the oral cavity, impeding with its normal feeding and drinking. Close physical examination under general anaesthesia revealed that the swellings are bilateral epulides at the upper jaw involving canines of both sides. The epulides were surgically excised, histopathology of the excised mass was conducted and a course of antibiotic treatment was followed.Result: The epulides were found to be of fibromatous and ossifying type. In the present case, there was no recurrence of epulides at the surgical site after their excision and the procedure proved curative. This work is a complementary contribution to the dental pathology study of sloth bears in captivity.

Abstract Background and study aims Real-time diagnosis of colorectal polyps is needed to prevent unnecessary resection of benign polyps. The vessels in hyperplastic polyps sometimes mimic the characteristic meshed capillary network of neoplastic lesions on non-magnified narrow-band imaging (NBI). Endocytoscopy in conjunction with NBI (EC-NBI) enables more detailed vessel observation. The current study evaluated whether EC-NBI can accurately diagnose small colorectal lesions with visible vessels on non-magnified NBI. Patients and methods This retrospective study was conducted from January to December 2016. During colonoscopy, lesion images were obtained using NBI and EC-NBI. On EC-NBI, lesions were classified as having “clear,” “unclear,” or “invisible” blood vessel margins. All specimens were resected and pathologically examined, and the association between vessel margin findings and pathological diagnosis was assessed. The lesion surface to vessel depth was measured in clear, unclear, and invisible lesions. Results Among 114 adenomas, 108 were clear, while six were unclear. Among 36 hyperplastic polyps, eight were clear, while 28 were unclear. A micro-network (MN) pattern was seen in 106 of 114 adenomas, and four of 36 hyperplastic polyps. The sensitivity, specificity, correct diagnostic rate, and positive and negative predictive values of clear blood vessel margins or a MN pattern as an adenoma index were 98.2 %, 69.4 %, 91.3 %, 91.1 %, and 92.6 %, respectively. EC-NBI correctly diagnosed 69.4 % (25/36) of hyperplastic polyps. The lesion surface–blood vessel distance was greater in unclear versus clear lesions (P < 0.001), and invisible versus unclear lesions (P < 0.001). Conclusions EC-NBI may effectively differentiate hyperplastic polyps with visible vessels from adenomas. Blood vessel depth affects visibility.
