| Resumo: |
The tongue is one of the most likely places for the primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to arise in the western world.This work intends to do a morphometric evaluation of the cellular nucleus, as well as a morphometric analysis of the nucleolar organizer regions (NORs). The biopsy specimen was removed from patients with tongue SCC, staged T2N0M0, before they underwent treatment. They were, then, subject to hemiglossectomy and supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) and presented different clinical evolution. According to that, they were subdivided in three groups: Group A, control group, formed by patients without tongue neoplasm (the histopathologic specimen was obtained from the Department of Pathology at Hospital de Base and Faculdade de Medicina de Sao José do Rio Preto - FAMERP-HB); Group B, T2N0M0+ hemiglossectomy + SOHND, survival of only 36 months; Group C, T2N0M0 + hemiglossectomy + SOHND, survival of 5 years. The morphometric analysis included the study of larger diameter, smaller diameter, medium diameter, the relation between larger/smaller diameters, perimeter, area, volume, the relation between volume/area, idiosyncrasy, shape coefficient and the nuclear contour index of the tumor cells from patients with tongue SCC, as well as the same measurements of the nucleolar organizer regions. The analysis was aleatory and double-blind. All the morphometric data were compiled and statistically evaluated by the Kruskall-Wallis test and by the ANOVA test, and a 5% alpha error rate was adopted
