Aims The aim of the present study was to determine the range, frequency, prevalence, and distribution of oral lesions submitted for histopathological diagnosis at the oral pathology laboratory at Kuwait University. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of all cases submitted to the oral pathology laboratory over an 18‐year period. Age, sex, histopathological diagnosis, and location of the lesions were recorded. Lesions were classified into 10 diagnostic categories. Results Of the 697 biopsies examined, the average age of the patients ranged from 1 to 93 years with a mean age of 37.83 ± 16.62 (mean ± SD). The most common diagnostic category was mucosal pathologies (N = 205, 29.4%), followed by odontogenic cysts (N = 158, 22.7%) and reactive lesions (N = 97, 13.9%). The three most common histopathological diagnoses were hyperkeratosis (N = 70), dentigerous cyst (N = 48), and mucocele (N = 44). Twenty‐five malignant neoplasms were diagnosed, the majority of them in males. A significant association was observed between age and the group of lesions of the oral cavity (P ≤ 0.001). Conclusions The present study provides the first set of data from Kuwait that covers a wide range of oral lesions. Mucosal pathologies were the most frequently diagnosed lesions and the majority of diagnoses were benign.

“…We found a slight predominance of odontogenic and non-odontogenic cysts among female patients (51%), in agreement with other studies conducted in Brazil (1,2,3,7,8,13,14). A higher incidence among males has been reported in other regions of the world such as Italy, Taiwan, Australia, and Turkey (4,10,15,16 Odontogenic cysts accounted for more than 90% of the cases analyzed here, in agreement with previous studies (1,2,3,8,12). Radicular cyst (46.8%), dentigerous cyst .…”

“…In this respect, actions promoting oral health in children and adolescents are important to reduce the prevalence of these inflammatory lesions. Dentigerous cysts were also commonly diagnosed in this age group considering their association with impacted third molars and upper canines that erupt around the second decade of life (1,2,12). Some authors suggested that the spread of inflammatory exudate from an infected primary tooth within the dental follicle of an impacted permanent tooth could give rise to an inflammatory dentigerous cyst; however, in this case, the term "inflammatory follicular cyst" seems more appropriate (13).…”

“…Different types of lesions can affect the maxillofacial complex of children and adolescents, which range from benign and indolent lesions to malignant tumors with aggressive behavior. In some situations, the symptoms of these lesions differ from those observed in adults (1,2). The estimated incidence of maxillofacial lesions in the pediatric population ranges from 7-15% depending on the age range analyzed in each study and the region da Silva LP, Gonzaga AKG, Severo MLB, Barros CCS, de Medeiros AMC, de Souza LB, da Silveira EJD.…”

“…where the survey was conducted (1)(2)(3)(4). Knowledge of epidemiological data of oral lesions in children and adolescents is important for a better understanding of lesions that can affect this population, contributing to a correct diagnosis, early treatment and favorable prognosis (1,2). Odontogenic cysts arise from remnants of the odontogenic epithelium entrapped in bone or gingival tissue, while non-odontogenic cysts develop from epithelium of non-odontogenic origin.…”

Background: the objective of this study was to describe the frequency of cystic lesions in a Brazilian population of patients histopathologically diagnosed in the first and second decade of life. Material and Methods: Retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Biopsy records were obtained from the archives of a Brazilian referral center between 1980 and 2016. Results: A total of 2.114 biopsy records of pediatric patients were analyzed with oral and maxillofacial lesions. Data such as gender, age, anatomical location, and histopathological diagnosis were collected and categorized. Among all oral and maxillofacial lesions (n=2.114), were diagnosed 294 cases of odontogenic cysts (13.9%) and 16 cases of non-odontogenic cysts (0.8%). The most frequent lesions in each group were, respectively: radicular cyst (n=145) and epidermoid cyst (n=4). These lesions were most common in female (n=158), with a mean age of 14 years. For intraosseous lesions, the mandible (n=148) was the most affected anatomic site; moreover, the floor of the mouth (n=6) was most affected by cysts in soft tissues. Conclusions: Odontogenic cysts were relatively common in population studied, but non-odontogenic cysts were rare in these patients.
