Abstract

Present study was carried out to find out the frequency of oral biopsies reported at the Railway
Hospital, Rawalpindi and to compare it with worldwide literature.
Patient data were retrieved from Jan 2007 to May 2012 from the record files of the histopathology
department at railway hospital and analyzed using SPSS version 17.
Of the total 114 cases the majority of the patients were in their 5th and 6th decades of life with no
gender predilection as male to female ratio was 1.1:1. Major categories of lesions reported were
malignant neoplasms (n=40), inflammatory lesions (n=21) and reactionary lesions (n=14).
Squamous cell carcinoma was the most commonly reported malignant lesion making it an
emerging threat to the community, with decreasing prognostic potential as the age of the patient
increased.
