Clinical features and histological description of tongue lesions in a lar ge Northern Italian population
Background: Only few studies on tongue lesions considered sizable populations, and contemporary literature
does not provide a valid report regarding the epidemiology of tongue lesions within the Italian population. In this
report, the histopathological and clinical appearance of 1.106 tongue lesions from northern Italians are described
and discussed.
Material and Methods: The case records of patients referred for the diagnosis and management of tongue
lesions, from October 1993 to October 2013, were reviewed. Histological data were also obtained and blindly
reexamined.
Results: For instance, a biopsy performed on a lingual ulcer has a strong predicting association with a carcinoma,
whereas a biopsy on a white lesion predicts for a leukoplakia or oral lichen planus. Moreover, a biopsy of erosion
is representative of bullous diseases, whereas a biopsy on a verrucous-papillary lesion is significant for fibroma.
Furthermore, carcinomas occur in the majority of cases on the lingual edge or pelvis, oral lichen planus is mainly
seen on the edge, and fibromas mostly on the lingual tip.
Conclusions: The high frequency of tongue involvement of such different diseases emphasizes the importance of
histological characterization and that some diseases occur more frequently than others, with a peculiar clinical
aspect and a more common area. In fact our survey can help the clinician in advancing diagnostic hypothesis, on
the basis of the elementary lesion and its site of involvemen
