“…Oral and perioral tissues can be affected by several diseases, including developmental, neoplastic, infectious, inflammatory, and reactive pathologies. The diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial pathologies can be challenging because of the diverse nature and the nonspecific features of diseases in this region [ 3 ].…”

“…The majority of the previous epidemiological studies about the pattern and frequency of oral and maxillofacial pathology were limited to either particular age groups or specific categories of diseases. Studies about the relative frequency of oral and maxillofacial diseases from developing countries, particularly those in the Arab world are sparse [ 3 , 7 ]…”

Objectives The goal of the current study was to evaluate the relative frequency of oral and maxillofacial pathological lesions among Egyptian children. Materials and methods Records of biopsies submitted to the department of oral and maxillofacial pathology from the year 1999 to 2019 were retrieved and reassessed for all cases under the age of 18 years. Information on age, sex, location of the lesion, and the histopathologic diagnosis was analyzed. Results Over the course of twenty-one years, 1108 specimens were analyzed where reactive soft tissue lesions, which accounted for 397 (35.8%) of all cases ranked the highest presented category, followed by inflammatory odontogenic cysts, which accounted for 213 cases (19.2%). With 208 cases, the inflammatory radicular cyst was on the top of the most common 20 lesions, followed by pyogenic granuloma (160 cases). Malignancy was found in 19 cases, with soft tissue tumors (10 cases) being the most common, followed by salivary gland (5 cases) and bone pathologies (4 cases). Conclusions The frequency of oral and maxillofacial pathological lesions among Egyptian children increased over the years but remained consistent with global trends. Clinical relevance This is the first study evaluating the relative frequency of oral and maxillofacial pathological lesions among Egyptian children and provides an insight into the most commonly encountered pediatric pathologies. This may aid in the understanding of the most prevalent oral lesions that impact the pediatric population, as well as providing the key to early detection of lesions.
