Resumo

Para determinar o significado do prognóstico da desmoplasia nos linfonodos metastáticos de carcinoma epidermóide da língua oral e do soalho da boca, 37 casos desta doença foram estudados. Desmoplasia estava presente em 59,4% dos casos e associada com rotura capsular em 40,5%. A associação de desmoplasia com envolvimento linfonodal extenso ocorreu em 59,4%. Estas relações foram estatisticamente significantes (p= 0,002 e 0,0069). Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a desmoplasia é um fator associado com mau prognóstico.
