The purpose of this study was to establish frequency and distribution of different histopathological aspects of biopsies of oral localized benign lesions (fibrous or haemorrhagic). Ninety-five cases of oral biopsies obtained over a period of one year and 7 months from 1st June 2012 to 31st January 2014 at Government Dental College and Hospital, Srinagar were retrospectively reviewed. The lesions were classified into either fibrous or soft hemorrhagic lesions. Clinical data regarding age, gender, characteristics (site, color, size, surface, consistency and base) of lesions were obtained for each case. Of all the 95 cases studied clinically 69 (72.6%) were histologically diagnosed as fibrous and 26(27.4%) were found to be soft haemorrhagic lesions. Among the fibrous lesions, irritational fibroma was the most frequent (81.2%) and among the hemorrhagic lesions pyogenic granuloma (65.4%) was found to be the most frequent. Majority of the fibrous lesions were located in the buccal mucosa (30.4%) and the greater number of soft hemorrhagic lesions were located on the maxillary gingiva (53.8%). From the study it can be stated that with regard to frequency and distribution, we found significant differences with respect to gender, age and location between the different oral lesions. The data presented in this study can be used to develop a clinical impression of such lesions frequently faced by the oral physician. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
