Computerised planimetric and stereological analyses of histological and eytological parameters in dysplastic atrophic epithelium and carcinoma

Abstract

This report analysed two lesions, of the Oral cavity; (atrophic dysplastic epithelium and oral squamous cell carcinoma) using computerized planimetry and point counting stereological methods. Three cytological, and histological parameters were analyzed at a time. Results indicate a significant difference between the cell size, and nucleocytoplasmic ratios of the two lesions when analyzed (P<0.001). The nuclear area measurement did not differ when the figure for the two lesions were compared. Study confirms the efficacy of objective analyses of tissue pathology of the oral cavity.
