Abstract

Only a successful cooperation of an oral surgeon and the pathologist
can ensure a reliable diagnosis. The authors have analyzed operations performed during 1990 at outpatient clinic of the Department o f Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Zagreb,
School of Dentistry. Clinical appearance of the disease and clinical diagnosis sometimes enable us to recognize the real nature of the disease. The clinical diagnosis in correlation with the histological diagnosis can be either denied or improved. The aim o f this investigation was to correlate the clinical and the histological diagnosis
and to find out the number of improvement. Material most often sent for histological examination was an operated cyst. Although the removed tissues were analyzed under different clinical diagnoses,
approximately 70% o f the clinical diagnoses corresponded to the
histopathological findings. In one case the clinical diagnosis of benign
lesion — hyperkeratosis — was after histopathological examination
find as carcinoma planocellulare. The authors recommend every
part of the excised tissue to be sent for a histopathological examination.
