- Oral soft tissue biopsies in Oporto, Portugal: An eight year retrospective analysisPublication . Guedes, M.; Albuquerque, R.; Monteiro, M.; Lopes, C.; Barbas- Amaral, J.; Pacheco, J.; Monteiro, L.The diseases that affect the oral cavity are wide and diverse, comprising a broad spectrum of either benign or malignant lesions. However, few histological-based studies were performed for the evaluation of oral cavity lesions, and very few directed to oral soft tissue pathology. The aim of this study was to carry out pioneering research, within a Portuguese population, to determine the frequency and characteristics of oral malignancies, potential malignant disorders, and soft benign tissues pathologies submitted for biopsy in a north Portugal (Oporto) hospital population.
