“…Studies worldwide confirm mucocele as the most common lesion in soft tissues, after histopathological analysis (Skinner et al, 1986;Das & Das, 1993;Chen et al;Sousa et al;Jones & Franklin;Lima et al;Wang et al;Siadati et al, 2013;Vale et al). Mucocele has uncertain etiology, but can be induced by local trauma (Jaafari Ashkavandi et al, 2013), which is frequent at this age-range.…”

“…In this study only adolescents were selected and all lesions that occurred were investigated and diagnosed by clinical and/or histopathological examination, whereas 49.46% of them were exclusively diagnosed by clinical examination. However most studies conclude their diagnosis based on the histopathological analysis (Chen et al, 1998;Sousa et al, 2002;Jones & Franklin;Dhanuthai et al, 2007;Wang et al).…”

“…Some studies report the prevalence of oral and maxillofacial lesions conducting epidemiological surveys about dental and periodontal diseases, malocclusion and dental traumas (Lawoyin, 2000;Wang et al, 2009;Rioboo-Crespo et al, 2005). Others studies only identify and report specific groups of diseases.…”

“…Others studies only identify and report specific groups of diseases. Therefore, the prevalence of oral lesions in children and adolescents presents considerable variation according to studies in different geographic regions (Lawoyin;Gültelkin et al, 2003;Jones & Franklin;Lima et al, 2008;Wang et al).…”

ABSTRACT:Studies assessing the prevalence of oral lesions show that 5.2% to 12.8% of biopsy specimens are from children and adolescents. In Brazil, there are few studies analyzing the distribution of oral lesions in that population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of oral and maxillomandibular lesions of adolescents, admitted to the Department of Oral Diagnosis of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) from 1994 to 2013. A study based on the review of the charts was done and the lesions were classified in 11 categories: salivary glands disease, dental pathology, gingival and periodontal pathology, odontogenic cysts, odontogenic tumors, non odontogenic cysts, bone pathology, mucosal pathology, connective tissue pathology, malignant tumors and other pathology. Variables including age, sex, ethnicity, diagnosis and lesion location were also evaluated. Upon analysis, 376 lesions were identified, most in girls, 51.9% and 77.1 % of patients were white. The most frequent site was the lower lip followed by the gingiva. Mucocele was the most common lesion (27.6%), followed by fibroepithelial hyperplasia (8.2%) and pyogenic granuloma (5.3%). Although there is a wide range of pathologies that can occur in the oral cavity, traumatic injuries are the most common in this age group.

This survey shows that, while nearly 29% of cases biopsied at the authors' unit are from children under 16 years of age, the majority of lesions are malignant. Burkitt's lymphoma took up the lion's share; this entity requires chemotherapeutic treatment, hence there is need to strengthen medical oncology. Odontogenic tumors are relatively rare in this age group; however, certain lesions such as adenomatoid odontogenic tumor are common in children and therefore should be considered when we have failed maxillary canine eruption.
