Abstract

To determine the proportion of agreement between the clinical and histopathologic
diagnoses of study biopsies in the Oral Pathology Department. From the registry
book from years 1989 to 2008 the histopathologic diagnoses of 2 183 biopsies were
collected codifying the different study variables and were processed using Epi Info
to obtain the frequencies end percentages. This study presents a 7.9 % of
agreement, a slight agreement of 13.8 %, no-agreement of 7.9 % and without
clinical diagnosis of 24.2 %. The salivary glands lesions showed the high agreement
for the 66.8 % and for the bone tissue the non-odontogenic cysts occupied the first
place of agreement for the 80.0 %. There was an acceptable agreement higher
than other similar studies. There is the possibility to improve these features by
means of a continuous updating of the clinical diagnoses.
