“…Thus, histopathological studies have the advantage of being more accurate since this type of analysis is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of many diseases. [7][8][9][10][11][12] In the present study, the prevalence of oral lesions among older adults was 16% when calculated considering patients of all ages. Although variable prevalence rates have been reported, our results are similar to the 9-14% found in other studies.…”

“…However, retrospective studies assessing data from services have showed that, usually, old individuals are affected by at least one lesion. When the frequency of the OMLs was computed, the types of lesions most commonly observed among older people included inflammatory/reactive lesions, malignant neoplasms (10,11), infectious diseases, and potentially malignant disorders (5).…”

BackgroundStudies on the oral and maxillofacial lesions (OMLs) in older people usually assess data of laboratory services and data from oral medicine clinic have been poorly described. The aim of this study was to describe and to compare OMLs in older individuals considering two data sources, besides to assess associated factors with the three most frequent lesions.Material and MethodsA retrospective study was conducted with individuals aged 60 years or older. Data of individuals and lesions reported in both services were collected. Univariate analysis was used to test the association between the occurrence of the lesion and the independent variables. The level of significance was set at 5%.ResultsA total of 1,695 (37.3%) records were from the Oral Medicine clinic and 2,848 (62.7%) from the Laboratory service. Inflammatory/reactive lesion group was the most frequent in both services (40.4% in Oral Medicine Clinic and in 44.2% Laboratory). The second and third groups of lesions in the Oral Medicine clinic were infectious diseases (18.5%), and variations of normality (10.8%), while in the laboratorial service were the malignant neoplasms (17.6%) and potentially malignant disorders (13.3%). Differences between services regarding the frequency of lesion groups occurred (p<0.05), except for pigmented (p=0.054) and infectious (p=0.054) groups. Females (OR: 2.08; CI: 1.81–2.39) and individuals who wore a removable prosthesis (OR: 3.99; CI: 2.83–5.62) were also likely to have inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia. Old–old individuals (OR: 1.70; CI: 1.30–2.21), male (OR: 3.63; CI: 3.00–4.39), smoking (OR: 6.05; CI: 4.84–7.56) or alcohol use (OR: 3.95; CI: 3.12–5.01) were likely to have squamous cell carcinoma.ConclusionsThe results showed different frequencies of OMLs in older individuals according to the data sources and age group. The findings are important to direct public policies for this age group. Key words:Oral medicine, laboratory service, older adult, oral diagnosis, oral and maxillofacial pathology.

“…[7][8][9]15 In the elderly patients, the most common tongue lesion in the present was squamous cell carcinoma which is in accordance with previous studies on geriatric oral lesions based on histopathological examination. [10][11][12][13]…”

“…There have been several epidemiological studies on oral mucosal lesions and tongue lesions constitute a considerable proportion of the oral lesions, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] but information specific to the tongue lesions is difficult or impossible to extract from those studies. Prevalence of tongue lesions varies in different parts of the world due to demographic and/or geographic differences of the sample studied, as well as differences in the diagnostic criteria, study methodology, and sampling process 14 ; hence conducting studies on the prevalence of tongue lesions in different geographic regions seems imperative.…”

“…Prevalence of tongue lesions varies in different parts of the world due to demographic and/or geographic differences of the sample studied, as well as differences in the diagnostic criteria, study methodology, and sampling process 14 ; hence conducting studies on the prevalence of tongue lesions in different geographic regions seems imperative. Pediatric and geriatric patients are special groups of general population which elicit distinctive oral mucosal lesions, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]15 so it is interesting to know whether tongue as a subsite of the oral mucosa does the same thing. Most of the previous studies were based on clinical observations without histopathological examination.…”

Objective Tongue lesions constitute a considerable proportion of the oral lesions. Previous studies on tongue lesions were based on clinical studies. There has been a scarcity of the studies which are based on histopathological examination. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, demographic, and pathologic features of tongue lesions from Thailand. Materials and Methods Biopsy records of the participating institutions were reviewed for lesions on the tongue diagnosed during 1998 to 2017. Demographic data were collected from the biopsy records. Locations were arbitrarily classified as dorsal, lateral, and ventral surfaces, tip of the tongue, and the combination of sites. Lesions of the tongue were classified as reactive/inflammatory, developmental, immune-mediated, cystic, benign, premalignant, malignant, infectious, and miscellaneous categories.Statistical Analysis Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS version 20.0. Results Of the 44,188 accessioned cases, 2,153 cases (4.87%) were diagnosed from the tongue. The age of the patients ranged from 3 to 93 years with the mean ± standard deviation = 45.26 ± 20.48 years. The female-to-male ratio was 1.49:1. The majority of the tongue lesions were encountered at the lateral border of the tongue (47.66%). Most of the tongue lesions in the present study (53.74%) fell into the reactive/inflammatory category. Irritation fibroma was the most prevalent lesion (18.99%) followed by squamous cell carcinoma (16.91%), and mucus extravasation phenomenon (14.26%), respectively. Conclusions This study offers new perspective into the study of tongue lesions apart from the clinically based studies. It also demonstrates the difference between the pediatric and the elderly patients. This study provides invaluable database for clinicians when formulating the clinical diagnosis of tongue lesions.
