Abstract

Background: Exophytic lesions in the oral mucosa are often encountered in daily practice, which had a prevalence of 25.8%, representing pathological growths above the contour of the oral mucosa due to hypertrophy, hyperplasia, neoplasia, and fluid collections in the epithelial/mesenchymal tissue. Aim: This study aimed to analyze the recurrence epidemiology of soft tissue exophytic lesions that has never been done in one of Academic Hospitals in Surabaya. Materials and method: Analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design using data from medical records with exophytic soft tissue lesions who had surgery at the Academic Hospitals in Surabaya on period of January 1st, 2018 – April 30th, 2022. Association among the ages, gender, size, color, base, locations and etiology with recurrence were measured by biserial rank and contingency coefficient. Results: 143 medical records matched inclusion criteria, with 3 (2.09%) recurrence cases, 2 mucoceles, and 1 schwannoma. There was a significant relationship between location with recurrence in salivary glands p=0.011 (p<0.05). There was no significant relationship between age, gender, size, color, base, location, and etiology with the recurrence of mesenchymal tumor lesions (p>0.05). Conclusion: Recurrence in salivary glands related to location but is not associated with age, gender, lesion size, lesion color, base, and etiology. Recurrence in mesenchymal tumors was not related to age, gender, size, color, base, location, or etiology.
