Benign connective and soft‐tissue neoplasms of the oral and maxillofacial region: Cross‐sectional study of 1066 histopathological specimens

Abstract

Background

Benign connective and soft‐tissue neoplasms (CSTNs) are unusual in the head and neck region. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the demographic and clinicopathological features of these neoplasms.

Methods

A cross‐sectional study was conducted of cases diagnosed as benign CSTNs, with data collected from biopsy records. The chi‐square test was used. A p‐value <0.05 was considered indicative of statistical significance.

Results

Among the 38 119 specimens, 1066 (2.79%) were benign CSTNs: 369 fibroblastic/myofibroblastic, 250 adipocytic, 179 vascular, 130 neural, 94 osseous/cartilaginous, 19 muscular, and two fibrohistiocytic. Most patients were female (62.8%) and white‐skinned (45.8%). Mean age was 42 years. The tongue (25.2%) was the most affected site for extraosseous neoplasms.

Conclusion

This study had the largest sample of benign oral and maxillofacial CSTNs. Although these tumors have similar clinical features, the characterization and differentiation detailed here may help clinicians with regards to the correct diagnosis.
