“…A wide range of lesions were found in this study and most of the biopsies were from the oral mucosa, accounting for slightly more than two thirds of the total, as seen in previous studies [6,7,8]. More mucosal biopsies were found in men than women.…”

“…More mucosal biopsies were found in men than women. However, Sklavounou-Andrikopoulou et al [9] observed an equal gender distribution of biopsies in a study limited to Greek children and adolescents while studies on Brazilian elderly populations showed more biopsies in females than males [6,11]. The higher number of mucosal biopsies from females in these studies was related to cultural bias.…”

“…Collecting data on biopsied oral lesions provides baseline information about the degree of occurrence of oral lesions and the extent of the problem prevailing in a certain population. There are several studies from around the world on the relative frequency of biopsied oral mucosal lesions [6,7,8,9]. Data regarding biopsied jaw lesions in Kuwait have been reported previously [10], but, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies on biopsied oral mucosal lesions.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relative frequency of biopsied oral soft tissue lesions in Kuwait. Materials and Methods: Biopsy records and microscopic sections of all oral soft tissue biopsies seen in the Department of Histopathology at Al-Amiri Hospital, Kuwait, between January 2004 and December 2009 were reviewed. The biopsies were divided into two major groups; group 1: nonneoplastic lesions, and group 2: neoplastic lesions. Group 1 was subdivided into reactive, inflammatory, cyst/cyst-like, dysplastic, and pigmented lesions. Group 2 was subdivided into epithelial and mesenchymal lesions, and also into benign and malignant lesions. Results: Of the 858 biopsies, 732 (85.3%) were nonneoplastic while the remaining 126 (14.7%) were neoplastic. In group 1, more than half of the lesions were within the reactive subgroup (n = 386; 52.7%) while in group 2, 94 (74.6%) lesions were epithelial in origin and 32 (25.4%) were mesenchymal. In addition, 70 (55.6%) lesions were malignant and 56 (44.4%) were benign. Of the 858 biopsies, the most common lesions were fibrous hyperplasias: 178 (20.7%); mucoceles: 110 (12.8%); pyogenic granulomas: 94 (11.0%); squamous cell carcinomas: 56 (6.5%), and lichenoid mucositis: 49 (5.7%). Conclusions: The majority of the lesions were nonneoplastic and were related to local irritation or trauma. Most neoplastic lesions were epithelial in origin. Oral squamous cell carcinoma was one of the most prevalent oral lesions highlighting the importance of prevention, early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer.

“…Essa lesão é uma resposta à irritação crônica de baixa intensidade, frequentemente associada ao uso de prótese. Assim, a sua maior prevalência no gênero feminino pode ser justificada pelo fato de as mulheres visitarem mais o dentista e usarem mais próteses do que os homens, tornando-as mais susceptíveis a desenvolver a hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória [5][6][7] . Além disso, a irritação pelo uso das próteses pode explicar o fato de o rebordo alveolar ter sido o sítio mais comumente acometido, uma vez que estas apoiam-se nesse local.…”

ResumoIntrodução: A pesquisa epidemiológica de lesões maxilofaciais em determinada região estabelece as necessidades populacionais e orienta os profissionais da saúde na definição de ações preventivas e tratamento adequado. Objetivo: Analisar os laudos histopatológicos de lesões maxilofaciais do período de 1996 a 2011 do Laboratório de Patologia Oral do Departamento de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), Brasil. Material e método: Estudo retrospectivo das biópsias realizadas de 1996 a 2011, recuperando-se os dados referentes ao gênero e à idade dos pacientes, à localização das lesões e ao diagnóstico histopatológico. As lesões foram agrupadas em: neoplasias benignas, lesões potencialmente malignas, neoplasias malignas, lesões inflamatórias, lesões odontogênicas, lesões ósseas, lesões de glândulas salivares e anomalias de desenvolvimento. Resultado: Foram analisados 762 laudos, havendo maior prevalência das lesões inflamatórias (n=205, 26,9%). O diagnóstico mais comum entre as neoplasias benignas foi a lesão periférica de células gigantes (n=15); entre as lesões potencialmente malignas, foi a displasia epitelial (n=80), e entre as neoplasias malignas, foi o carcinoma de células escamosas (n=29). Dentre as lesões inflamatórias, a lesão mais prevalente foi a hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatória (n=74). O granuloma periapical (n=62) foi a lesão mais comum dentre as lesões odontogênicas. A lesão mais prevalente dentre as lesões ósseas foi o fibroma ossificante central (n=08); entre as lesões de glândulas salivares, foi o fenômeno de retenção de muco (n=64), e entre as anomalias de desenvolvimento, foi a mácula melanocítica (n=04). Conclusão: Os achados deste levantamento salientam a importância de planos de tratamento e medidas educativas que diminuam e previnam a exposição dos pacientes a fatores de risco.Descritores: Prevalência; patologia bucal; histologia. AbstractIntroduction: Epidemiological survey of maxillofacial lesions in a specific geographic region establishes the real needs of this population and guides health professionals in defining preventive actions and appropriate treatment. Objective: To analyze the histopathological diagnosis of maxillofacial lesions issued in the period 1996-2011 managed by the Laboratory of Oral Pathology, Department of Dentistry, Federal University of Sergipe, Brazil. Material and method: A retrospective study of biopsies removed from 1996-2011 was conducted, recovering data related to gender and age of the patients, location of the lesions and histopathological diagnosis. The lesions were grouped into eight diagnostic categories: benign neoplasms, potentially malignant lesions, malignant neoplasms, inflammatory lesions, odontogenic lesions, bone lesions, salivary gland lesions and malformations and developmental anomalies. Result: 762 reports were analyzed, with a higher prevalence of inflammatory lesions (n = 205, 26.9 %). The most common diagnosis among benign neoplasms was the peripheral giant cell granuloma (n=15), among potentially malignant lesions was the...
