“…This is in accordance with other studies, which reported a high prevalence of oral lesions in males . However, this is in contrast to studies from Iraq and Saudi Arabia where oral lesions were found to be more prevalent among females . Specific lesions appeared to have a strong predilection for either sex.…”

“…A previous study in Iraq reported pyogenic granulomas to be the most common lesion and comprised 10.5% of all lesions compared to 6.17% in our study. However, it mostly occurred in the tongue in Yakin et al's study …”

“…The lack of awareness among patients, and therefore, their compliance to seek biopsy for oral mucosal lesions, could be cited as a reason for the paucity. Comparatively, in 6 years, 616 samples were studied at a teaching hospital in Iraq, 5 and 714 samples in a Saudi Arabian province. 8 In the present study, a higher prevalence of oral lesions was seen among males (50.7%) when compared to females (49.3%).…”

“…1,9,13 However, this is in contrast to studies from Iraq and Saudi Arabia where oral lesions were found to be more prevalent among females. 5 Mucosal pathology was the most common diagnostic category, representing almost 30% of the submitted lesions, followed by odontogenic cysts.

Aims The aim of the present study was to determine the range, frequency, prevalence, and distribution of oral lesions submitted for histopathological diagnosis at the oral pathology laboratory at Kuwait University. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of all cases submitted to the oral pathology laboratory over an 18‐year period. Age, sex, histopathological diagnosis, and location of the lesions were recorded. Lesions were classified into 10 diagnostic categories. Results Of the 697 biopsies examined, the average age of the patients ranged from 1 to 93 years with a mean age of 37.83 ± 16.62 (mean ± SD). The most common diagnostic category was mucosal pathologies (N = 205, 29.4%), followed by odontogenic cysts (N = 158, 22.7%) and reactive lesions (N = 97, 13.9%). The three most common histopathological diagnoses were hyperkeratosis (N = 70), dentigerous cyst (N = 48), and mucocele (N = 44). Twenty‐five malignant neoplasms were diagnosed, the majority of them in males. A significant association was observed between age and the group of lesions of the oral cavity (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions The present study provides the first set of data from Kuwait that covers a wide range of oral lesions. Mucosal pathologies were the most frequently diagnosed lesions and the majority of diagnoses were benign.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and features of oral and maxillofacial lesions found in the residents of Al‐Qassim region, Saudi Arabia.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at King Fahad Specialist Hospital, Buraidah, Qassim, KSA. The data for all biopsied oral and maxillofacial lesions were retrieved from January 2014 until August 2022. All patients’ data including age, gender, location of the lesion, and histopathologic diagnosis were reviewed and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23 and Microsoft Excel.Results: A total of 381 oral pathology biopsies for individuals aged 18 and above were included in a descriptive analysis. One hundred ninety five (51.18%) of patients were male, and 186 (48.82%) were female. The site most commonly biopsied was the oral mucosa (26%). The diagnosis was categorized according to the histopathological diagnosis into 13 categories including all pathological lesions in the oral and maxillofacial area. The frequently biopsied category was soft tissue pathological lesion category (26%), second to that is the odontogenic cyst category (22%), and third is the immunological‐mediated lesion category (13%). The sub‐diagnosis that was mostly observed was radicular cyst, lichen planus, and focal fibrous hyperplasia with the percentages of 13.6%, 10.8%, and 9.4%, respectively.Conclusion: The findings provide important information about the oral and maxillofacial pathology in Al‐Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. This study found that biopsied oral lesions were more prevalent in males and in patients in the fourth decade of life. The oral mucosa was the most biopsied site, and the majority of the biopsies were soft tissue pathological lesions and radicular cyst was the most frequent diagnosis. Knowledge of such demographic and clinical features of oral and maxillofacial pathology cases helps in prediction of disease incidence and subsequent proper patient care in the region.
