“…Petruzzelli and Mayers (1994) noted that neoplasia of the upper jaw constitutes only 2% of all head and neck malignancies and 10% of oral cancers [ 54 ]. The lesion appears to be more common in India, accounting for 40–55% of oropharyngeal cancers [ 55 ]. 5.29% of oral cancer patients in our study were diagnosed as cases of isolated palatal cancer, with the highest observed incidence in the age group of above 50 years (55.5%).…”

Aim of the studyOral cancer ranks in the top three of all cancers in India and is quickly becoming a global health priority. More than 90% of oral and oropharyngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to document its incidence depending upon the involvement of different sites of oral cavity, and its variation with age and gender.Material and methodsHistopathologically proven oral squamous cell carcinoma cases were collected from the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery RDC, PIMS. The cases were systematically grouped under three headings: anatomical sub-site of oral cavity, age group, and gender, which were analysed to calculate the prevalence of oral cancer. The study was undertaken after obtaining approval from the institutional Ethical Committee board.ResultsAmong the different sites of oral cavity, the highest incidence (31.47%) of oral squamous cell carcinoma was seen for buccal mucosa in our study. The most affected age group (39.50%) were patients above 50 years old, predominantly involving males.ConclusionsThe population in this study were mostly from remote areas, among which a high rate of occurrence of oral cancer was encountered because the people were of low socio-economic class, had a casual attitude towards their health, high rate of tobacco consumption, and limited health care facilities. This study provides valuable data of the prevalence of oral cancer among the rural population.

“…[ 2 ] Excrescences in reverse smokers differ from the nicotina palatini seen in conventional smokers by its clinical, biological behavior and higher malignant potential. [ 30 ] On histopathological examination Reddy et al . reported that earliest atypical changes in the orifices of the ducts of the glands and the papules with umblication is due to hyperplasia of the mucous glands.…”

Aim:To investigate and record the palatal changes in individuals habituated to reverse chutta smoking in rural coastal Andhra population.Materials and Methods:Sixty individuals out of whom 47 females and 13 males habituated to reverse smoking with no other tobacco and alcohol habits and no other systemic disturbances were selected. The palatal changes were recorded by six examiners. Database were searched for the following terms “reverse smokers,” “nicotina palatini” and “palatal lesions.”Results:The mean and percentage prevalence of the each lesion recorded and agreed by six examiners among 60 subjects showed presence of 87.77% hyperpigmented areas, 64.44% depigmented areas, 51.66% excrescences, 32.22% potentially malignant lesions and 9.72% frank ulcerations.Conclusion:Reverse smoking is an endemic tobacco habit still practiced in the coastal rural Andhra Pradesh. It is a well-established and socially acceptable habit among adult females. The changes recorded clinically shows characteristic features that are unique among this population group.
