NDB-UFES: An oral cancer and leukoplakia dataset composed of histopathological images and patient data

The dataset collected contains histopathological images of oral squamous cell carcinoma and leukoplakia (represented by samples with and without epithelial dysplasia). It also contains sociodemographic data (gender, age, and skin color) as well as clinical data (tobacco use, alcohol consumption, sun exposure, fundamental lesion, type of biopsy, lesion color, lesion surface, and lesion diagnosis). A supplementary dataset consisting of patches of the captured histopathological images is also provided. The data were collected between 2010 and 2021 in patients managed at the Oral Diagnosis project (NDB) of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Brazil.
