CLINICOPATHOLOGIC PROFILE OF ORAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OSCC AND SINONASAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA SNSCC .

Background: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma is said to be the most common malignancy affecting the oral cavity while Squamous cell carcinoma of the sinonasal tract is less common. Changing patterns have been observed in the incidence of these lesions in recent years. Objective: This study aims to determine the demographics, clinical and histopathologic characteristics of Oral Squamous Cell carcinoma and Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Nigerian African population over a period of 7 years 2013 to 2019 . Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, records from the archives of the Oral Pathology laboratory, Faculty of Dentistry, Lagos State University College of Medicine over a period of 7 years 2013 to 2019 were reviewed to retrieve the age, sex, site, grade and variant where indicated of cases. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 . Results: The prevalence of OSCC in our study was 34.5% of all oral and maxillofacial malignancies, while SNSCC accounted for 5.5%. Mean age for OSCC was 56.5 SD 16.4 years, while that of SNSCC was 47.0 SD 9.23 years. These lesions were more frequent in males 63.2% and 66.7% for OSCC and SNSCC respectively than females. The most common site of involvement in OSCC was the tongue 28.9% . 66.7% of the SNSCC was the Keratinising type. 75% of Keratinising SNSCC and 55.3% of OSCC were graded moderately differentiated. Conclusion: Incidence and distribution of these lesions in the light of new adaptations of cultural practices will help to identify existent patterns for diagnosis in Africans.
