Background: Mild keratinizing squamous dysplasia is a precancerous condition characterized by abnormal growth and organization of squamous cells in the epithelium of the oral cavity. In this condition, the squamous cells exhibit mild atypia (minor abnormalities in size, shape, and organization) and increased keratin production. The dysplasia is classified as mild when these cellular abnormalities …

Background: Moderate keratinizing squamous dysplasia is a precancerous condition characterized by abnormal growth and organization of squamous cells in the epithelium of the oral cavity. In this condition, the squamous cells exhibit atypia (abnormalities in size, shape, and organization) and increased keratin production, but the changes are less extensive than in severe dysplasia. The dysplasia …

Background: Severe keratinizing squamous dysplasia is a precancerous condition characterized by abnormal and disorganized growth of squamous cells in the epithelium of the oral cavity. In this condition, the squamous cells show significant atypia (abnormalities in size, shape, and organization) and increased keratin production. The dysplasia is classified as severe when these cellular abnormalities extend …

Background: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a precancerous condition characterized by abnormal changes in the epithelial cells lining the oral cavity. These changes indicate that the cells are growing and maturing abnormally, which can potentially progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma if not properly managed. Oral epithelial dysplasia can appear as white patches (leukoplakia), red …

What is squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity? Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common type of cancer in the oral cavity. The oral cavity includes the lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, gingiva (gums), buccal mucosa (inner cheeks), and palate (roof of the mouth). Squamous cell carcinoma often develops from a pre-cancerous …
