Abstract

To submit data on the histopathological diagnosis made in the Oral Pathology
Department of Stomatology of Autonomous University in Nuevo León, Monterrey,
Mexico during from 1989 to 2008. From 2 183 biopsies, bone tissue lesions
accounted for 637 cases (29.2 %) and those that soft tissue summarized 1 529 (70
%), from dental tissue 17 samples (0.8 %) were processed. For bone tissue the
more frequent diagnoses were: periapical granulomas, periapical cyst, dentigerous
cyst and odontogenic keratocyst (keratogenic odontogenic tumor). The more
frequent diagnoses for the soft tissue are: fibroma, pyogenic granulomas,
mucocele, epidermoid carcinoma and papiloma. In maxillary there were 292 cases,
in maxilla 258 and in 87 samples there was no specification from which maxillary
was obtained the biopsy. In soft tissue, from gum 505 biopsies were obtained, from
inferior lip 164, from soft tissue 157 were not specified, tongue 147, alveolar
mucosa 146, hard palate 89 and other areas underwent 321 biopsies. From female
patients 1 370 biopsies were obtained (62.8 %) and from male patients 796
biopsies (36.4 %). There was a coincidence of 1 482 cases (67.9 %) between the
clinical diagnosis and the histopathological one, the no coincident ones summarized
172 (7.9 %) and 529 cases (24.2 %) where there wasn't clinical diagnosis being
acceptable according to similar studies, but could be significantly improved by a
continuous education.
