Background: Head and neck lesions include a spectrum of pathological lesions ranging from simple benign to highly malignant entities. These lesions contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality of patients. The aim of this study was to determine the histological patterns of head and neck lesions, both non- neoplastic and neoplastic and to analyse the data in relation to age, gender, topography.Methods: A two year retrospective study was conducted in the Post Graduate Department of Pathology, ASCOMS and Hospital and histopathological data pertaining to all head and neck lesions was reviewed. Each case was analysed with respect to age, gender, site and histological type.Results: One hundred and forty-five cases from the head and neck region were analysed during this two-year period. Age range was from 3 months to 85 years with maximum cases in the age group of 21-50 years (51.03%). The Male: Female ratio was 1.37:1. In our study, 53.79% benign, 24.13% inflammatory and 22.06% malignant cases were recorded. Maximum number of benign lesions was in the age group of 21-50 years. Malignancies were noted to be higher in ages 51 years and above. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common malignancy observed.Conclusions: We conclude that site specific data like this is helpful in evaluating patterns of head and neck lesions and augment the base line data of institute and the region.

“…Mapping patterns of head and neck cancers of 18 months prospective and cross sectional study 60 patients have been diagnosed and confirmed histopathologically as cancers, these cases were plotted as per topographic codes and the leading topographic site was upper aero digestive tract, followed by thyroid cancers, in addition to thyroid cancers few miscellaneous leading sites are added which are salivary glands cancers, skin +subcutaneous cancers and lymphatic cancers, so aerodigestive tract in present study (Table 5) reduced to 66.67% [4],while in previous study it was about 100%. Aero digestive tract cancers are common in all studies by using topography mapping.…”

International Classification of Diseases-Oncology 9(ICD-O) uses only a set of 4 characters for topography .Topography code remains same for all neoplasms of that site. Topography run from C00.0-C80.9.A decimal point (.) separates subdivisions of 3 character categories. Mapping patterns of head and neck cancers of 18 months prospective study are conducted at tertiary care centre of state government run medical college and hospital at Nanded, Maharashtra, India. where 378 patients were selected out of that 60 patients have been diagnosed and confirmed histopathologically as cancers, these cases were plotted as per topographic codes and the leading topographic site was upper aero digestive tract, followed by thyroid cancers, this was also a follow up study, this similar study was done 7 years back in the same institute where the results were more or less same except the emergence of thyroid gland cancers. In present study in addition to thyroid cancers very few miscellaneous leading sites are added which are salivary gland cancers, skin +subcutaneous cancers and lymphatic cancers, so the group of topographic sub sites known as aerodigestive tract is seen in present study and is reduced to 66.67% while in previous study it was about 100%.Presence of a group of topographic sub sites of aero digestive tract cancers is a common finding in all studies by using topography mapping.

BACKGROUND Scalp lesions are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Fine‐needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can characterize most of these lesions; however, there is little published work on cytology of scalp lesions. METHODS Records of all the patients subjected to FNAC from January 2011 to August 2016 were retrieved from the archives of the Cytopathology section of our Institute. Out of the 71 852 cases reviewed, 896 patients, who presented with palpable scalp lesions, were included in the study. Aspirates were obtained with a 23‐gauge needle attached to a 10 mL disposable plastic syringe. May–Grünwald–Giemsa stained and Pap stained slides were prepared. Special stains and immunocytochemical analysis were done when necessary. RESULTS Out of the 896 cases of aspirates from scalp lesions, 155 (17.2%) aspirates were found to be inadequate for diagnosis. One hundred and fifty‐seven (21%) out of 741 adequate aspirates showed features of inflammatory or reactive pathology comprising of abscesses (57), cystic lesions (24), tubercular lesions (16), and reactive lymphadenopathy (66). Four hundred and fifteen (56%) aspirates revealed a tumor‐like etiology comprising of epidermal cyst (395), sebaceous cyst (4), dermoid cyst (1), calcinosis (7), vascular malformation (7), hematoma (5), and juvenile xanthogranulomatous lesion (1). Tumorous lesions formed 22.3% of the aspirates. Of these, 7 cases (4.2%) were of metastases to the scalp. CONCLUSION In a developing country, FNAC is a useful and cost‐effective investigation for the diagnosis of a wide spectrum of scalp lesions. It allows rapid diagnosis and permits timely intervention thereby preventing complications due to delay in diagnosis.
