Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a growth anomaly which occurs due to atypical proliferation, change in the architectural
and cytological features of cells of epithelial origin, resulting in the formation of a lesion with disturbed differentiation and
maturation. The purpose of this study was to describe the OED cases diagnosed at Tygerberg Hospital in a seven-year period (from
2012 until 2019) and to determine the demographics and clinical location of these cases. The patients’ medical records from the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) were reviewed. All diagnosed cases of OED were identified, and the data retrieved for further assessment and comparison.
