“…The malignancy seen in our study was relatively low, i.e., 0.14%, which was comparable with the study by Do et al (0.15%) [ 24 ], Kumar et al (0.2%) [ 14 ], and Mehrotra et al (0.06%) [ 22 ], and it was higher in the studies by Amaral et al (2.5%) [ 4 ], Blanco DC P et al (2.8%) [ 12 ], Gambhir et al (7.5%) [ 10 ], and Bajracharya et al (13.5%) [ 8 ]. The significant percentage in the study by Gambhir et al [ 10 ] and Bajracharya et al [ 8 ] could be because the study was done among the histopathological samples received for biopsy.…”

“…Location. The most common location for OMLs in our study was buccal mucosa (22.23%), which was similarly seen in the study by Bajracharya et al (20.7%) [8] and higher than the studies by Gambhir RS (16.8%) [10], whereas lower lip was found by Blanco DC P et al (20.8%) [12] and palate by Bhatnagar et al (16.8%) [27].…”
