oral complains attending ENT clinics in AI-Yarmouk
Teaching Hospital, and AI-Kindy Teaching Hospital -
Baghdad, in the period from 1st jan1999 till 31th des 2006 (8
years interval).
Results: The results of this study showed that the prevalence
of malignant lesions was 13.5% (72 out of 534); the males
constitute 59.7 % of them. Premalignant lesions constitute
only 3.9% (21 out of 534) of patients; the males constitute
66.7 % of them. Benign lesions in 8.6% (46 out of 534); the
males constitute 69.6 % of them. Other lesions constitute
74% (395 out of 534); the males constitute 65.8 % of them.
Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant
tumor (found in 71% of malignant lesions).
Conclusions: Most patients are males and the most common
manifestation is sore throat. The most common sign of
presentation is swelling and the most common histological
type of malignant tumors is squamous cell carcinoma (71%).
These patients usually attend ENT clinic seeking for simple
