Abstract
To determine the types and relative frequency of the oral lesions, and to assess their age distribution. A retrospective study was performed in Aljumhori teaching hospital, Al salaam teaching hospital and some private laboratories of Mosul city in Iraq between January 2002 and through December 2006. A total of 303 biopsies were examined. Patient's age and sex, clinical data, site of lesions, and type of operation were retrieved from the request forms manually. The data was analyzed with emphasis on age, sex, and histology. There were 261 (86.3%) benign lesions; 39 (12.8%) malignant lesions and 3 (0.99%) were borderline lesions. 145 (47.8%) were males and158 (52.2%) were females. Among the inflammatory and tumor like lesions pyogenic granuloma was the most frequently encountered (80; 26.4% cases) followed by giant cell epulis and fibroepithelial polyp (42; 13.8%, 40; 13.2%) respectively. Among oral cysts radicular cyst was the major type encountered. Hemangioma and Pleomorphic adenoma (15; 4.9%, 9; 2.9% cases) were the commonest benign tumors respectively. While squamous cell carcinoma was found in 23 (7.6%) cases. Inflammatory and Benign lesions are common pathological findings in oral cavity respectively. Malignant tumors are more frequent after age of 50, were squamous cell carcinomas are the main type and more common in male.
