Focal reactive hyperplastic lesions of the gingiva are quite common soft tissue enlargements of the oral cavity. Presence of local factors, tissue irritation and endocrinal discrepancies contribute to its etiology. The fact that these lesions are caused by diverse pathological conditions and its histo-pathological resemblances poses a great diagnostic challenge. Due to the site predilection of ...

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to analyze the frequency and distribution of gingival lesions in MR Ambedkar Dental College, Bengaluru. Materials and methods: The material included the biopsies of all localized reactive hyperplastic lesions (LRHL) of the gingiva stored in the department’s database (1995-2011). The lesions were analyzed according to their location and the patient's age ...

background: the aim of this study was to quantify the number of mast cells in focal reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity and to compare these two number of mast cells in normal gingival tissues and to correlate their presence with the state of connective tissue changes in reactive lesions and probably suggest a role for mast cells in these lesions. materials and methods: patient rec...

BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate the relative frequency of biopsied nonneoplastic oral mucosal lesions in Ankara, Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biopsy records of a single center from 2000-2012 were retrospectively collected. Diagnosis was recorded and evaluated with respect to patient demographics (age, sex) and location of the lesion. RESULTS Of 11,980 biopsies, 1732 (14.5%) were mucosal nonn...

background and aims. reactive hyperplasias (rhs) are common oral mucosal lesions caused by irritation of the mu-cosa. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequencies of various types of oral rhs in a university clinic. materials and methods. oral rh cases, undergone biopsy in a four-year period, were studied retrospectively. data including age and gender as well as the location and clinic...

A pyogenic granuloma is a reactive hyperplastic inflammatory lesion that arises as result of various stimuli such low-grade local irritation, trauma, hormones, and certain medications. In the oral cavity, it relatively common gingival soft tissue lesion, which originates an expansile growth mucous membrane. It could exhibit aggressive behaviour mimicking malignant lesions with different present...

aim :  the aim of this study was to present the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with gastric polypoid lesions and to study the histopathologic features of these lesions. background : the frequency of gastric polyps is gradually increasing due to the widespread use of endoscopic examinations. patients and methods : clinical and endoscopic features of 100 gastric polyposis pa...
