Keywords:
oral cancer, oral leukoplakia, epidermoid carcinoma, bucomaxillofacial complex.Abstract
Introduction: The oral mucosa can be affected by traumatic lesions, viral, fungal and bacterial infections, as well as by benign and, malignant tumors, development malformations and autoinmmune genetic and psychosomatic diseases, among others.
Objective: To characterize clinically and epidemiologically patients with oral cancer and other lesions of the bucomaxillofacial complex.
Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 56 patients of both sexes, with some evident morphological change in the bucomaxillofacial complex, assisted in the Stomatology Service of Eduardo Mesa Llull Polyclinic, II Frente municipality in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from September, 2015 to the same month in 2017. Among the analyzed variables there were: age, sex, skin color, anatomical localization, definitive diagnosis and histological type. The primary information was obtained from the interviews and of the medical records. On the other hand, an exhaustive physical examination was made and a sample for biopsy was taken with the aim of diagnosing the present disorders.
Results: The 35-59 years patients, mestizos and the female sex prevailed in the case material. The most affected areas were the cheek mucosa and the lower lip for the oral cancer and the residual alveolar edges and the cheek mucosa for the other lesions. Oral leukoplakia was the most common definitive diagnosis and the carcinoma epidermoid the preponderant histological variety.
Conclusions: Health education, promotion and prevention, are essential in the Stomatology environment, so that it is imperative to evaluate and renew programs for they to have more influence on education and prevention.
