Abstract
Paediatric oral surgery pathology service in an African population group : a 10 year review

The records of the Oral Pathology Services of the University College Hospital Ibadan Dental Centre contains data on 2264 biopsies between 19861996. There were 561 biopsies on patients aged 1-16 years representing 16.2% of total. Case notes and radiographs (where available) were retrieved and analysed for diagnosis, sex, age and site. For convenience, tissue pathology was compartmentalised into, Neoplasm (benign and malignant), cysts, and inflammatory/reactive.
Neoplasm constitutes the highest with 47.6%, followed by inflammatory/reactive 27.6% and cystic lesions at 24.8%. A significant preference for male over female was noted and the mandible was also the site of preference for most of the lesions.
