Scoring of mean lymphatic microvessel density in the three study groups
| Groups | n | MLVD±SD | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| OL | 25 | 27.32±18.91 | <0.001 |
| OSCC | 30 | 42.00±21.22 | |
| Normal oral mucosa | 10 | 5.50±4.35 |
MLVD: Mean lymphatic microvessel density, SD: Standard deviation, OSCC: Oral squamous cell carcinoma, OL: Oral leukoplakia
