Oral Pathology & Jaw Lesions
Evaluation of persistent sores, lumps, and oral-maxillofacial lesions.
Lesions that do not heal within two weeks, bleed, or grow quickly should be examined. Biopsy or imaging may be needed. A definitive diagnosis comes only from pathology—this page is not a substitute.
Frequently asked questions
Are all lumps cancerous?
No. Many lesions are benign, but telling them apart requires clinical assessment and sometimes tissue testing.
Is a biopsy painful?
It is usually done with local anesthesia. Post-biopsy care instructions are provided.
What is an oral cyst?
A cyst is a fluid-filled sac in bone or soft tissue. Size and location determine monitoring versus surgical treatment.
