Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of oral lesions in the floor of the mouth from representative oral pathology centres in Latin America. Material and Methods: This study was conducted on biopsies obtained from January of 1978 to December of 2018 at nine Latin America oral and maxillofacial pathology centres. Gender, age and histopathological diagnosis were evaluated. Data were analysed using descriptive methods. Chi-square test was used for pairwise comparisons. Results: From 114,893 samples, 4,016 lesions (3.49%) occurred in the floor of the mouth. Brazil showed 3,777 cases (94%), Mexico 182 cases (4.5%) and Argentina 57 cases (1.4%). Benign lesions represented 65.1% (2,617 cases), followed by 34.9% (1,404 cases) of malignant disorders. Lesions of epithelial origin were more frequent (1,964 cases; 48.9%), followed by salivary glands (1,245 cases; 31%) and soft tissue lesions (475 cases; 11.7%). The most common histological subtypes were oral squamous cell carcinoma (1,347 cases; 33.5%), ranula (724 cases; 18%), oral leukoplakia (476 cases; 11.8%) and inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (239 cases; 5.9%). The lesion affected males in 2,129 cases and females in 1,897 cases. Conclusions: In the current study, lesions in the floor of the mouth represented 3.49% of biopsies submitted to oral pathology services and oral squamous cell carcinoma, ranula and leukoplakia were the most common lesions.
Abstract: Antecedentes: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a frequência de lesões orais no assoalho da boca em centros representativos de patologia bucal na América Latina. Material e Métodos: Este estudo foi realizado em biópsias obtidas de janeiro de 1978 a dezembro de 2018 em nove centros de patologia oral e maxilofacial da América Latina. Foram avaliados sexo, idade e diagnóstico histopatológico. Os dados foram analisados ​​por métodos descritivos. O teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para comparações pareadas. Resultados: De 114.893 amostras, 4.016 lesões (3,49%) ocorreram no assoalho da boca. O Brasil apresentou 3.777 casos (94%), o México 182 casos (4,5%) e a Argentina 57 casos (1,4%). As lesões benignas representaram 65,1% (2.617 casos), seguidas por 34,9% (1.404 casos) de doenças malignas. As lesões de origem epitelial foram mais frequentes (1.964 casos; 48,9%), seguidas de glândulas salivares (1.245 casos; 31%) e lesões de partes moles (475 casos; 11,7%). Os subtipos histológicos mais comuns foram carcinoma espinocelular oral (1.347 casos; 33,5%), rânula (724 casos; 18%), leucoplasia oral (476 casos; 11,8%) e hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória (239 casos; 5,9%). A lesão afetou homens em 2.129 casos e mulheres em 1.897 casos. Conclusões: No presente estudo, as lesões no assoalho da boca representaram 3,49% das biópsias submetidas aos serviços de patologia bucal e o carcinoma espinocelular oral, a rânula e a leucoplasia foram as lesões mais comuns.
