The quantitative differences in consistency of normal mucosa, leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue were studied. Forty-five patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, 26 with leukoplakia and 80 with normal tongues were examined using an instrument capable of measuring consistency as a function of the load (in grams) needed to displace tongue mucosa by 2.0 mm using a probe 2.0 mm in diameter. The mean value for consistency in tongue carcinoma, leukoplakia and normal tongue was 22.1 +/- 8.0 g, 8.3 +/- 2.0 g and 4.8 +/- 0.7 g, respectively. Differences in consistency among these entities were significant (P < 0.001). Furthermore, consistency in tongue carcinoma was significantly correlated to tumour thickness (r = 0.954, P < 0.001). It was concluded that the consistency in tongue lesions was objectively and quantitatively evaluated by this method, and this technique could measure the thickness of the tumorous lesions preoperatively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007972 Leukoplakia, Oral A white patch seen on the oral mucosa. It is considered a premalignant condition and is often tobacco-induced. When evidence of Epstein-Barr virus is present, the condition is called hairy leukoplakia (LEUKOPLAKIA, HAIRY).

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009061 Mouth Mucosa Lining of the ORAL CAVITY, including mucosa on the GUMS; the PALATE; the LIP; the CHEEK; floor of the mouth; and other structures. The mucosa is generally a nonkeratinized stratified squamous EPITHELIUM covering muscle, bone, or glands but can show varying degree of keratinization at specific locations.

D010950 Plasma Cells Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.

D002294 Carcinoma, Squamous Cell A carcinoma derived from stratified SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL CELLS. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelium is normally present.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
