Epidemiological and Histopathological Aspects of Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinomas-Retrospective Study
Tongue squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most commonly diagnosed intraoral squamous cell carcinomas (25-40%), being considered an aggressive form of squamous cell carcinoma, as it is most commonly associated with lymph node metastases and the survival rate at five years is below 50%. In accordin...

description | Tongue squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most commonly diagnosed intraoral squamous cell carcinomas (25-40%), being considered an aggressive form of squamous cell carcinoma, as it is most commonly associated with lymph node metastases and the survival rate at five years is below 50%. In according with these data, we have proposed in this study to individualize an epidemiological and histopathological profile of the patients with such oral cancers, diagnosed and treated in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic and in the Otolaryngology Surgery Clinic of the Emergency Clinical County Hospital Craiova, between 2015-2017. The cases were histopathologically reassessed according to the latest WHO classification of head and neck tumors, the variables of interest being the age of the patients, the gender, the lesion topography, the histological subtype, the degree of tumor differentiation, the pTNM stage, the resection margin status and the Brandwein-Gensler prognostic score. Thus, we recorded an average age of 55.81±14.98 tongue cancer development, 65% of the casuistry being diagnosed during the 7th and 6th decades, with a slight prevalence in men, with development in two thirds of cases in the mobile portion of the tongue. Histopathologically, conventional forms of squamous cell carcinoma prevailed (53.7%), followed by varieties: acantholytic (26%), basaloid (13%), sarcomatoid (5.45%) and verrucous (1.85%). Moderate differentiated forms prevailed (44.44%), half of the cases falling within the moderate degree of Brandwein-Gensler's histological risk score and two thirds were diagnosed in pTNM stage II and III of the disease, and a quarter of the cases having the margins invaded. |
