Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of thrombi in the oral and maxillofacial region. A cross-sectional study was conducted in nine reference centers for oral and maxillofacial pathology diagnosis in Brazil, from which biopsy records were obtained. The data were analyzed descriptively. A total of 93,036 biopsies from the oral and maxillofacial region were evaluated, 187 (0.2%) of which were diagnosed as thrombi. The highest occurrence was in females, with a mean age of 52.4 ± 17.7 years. The lip was the most frequently affected anatomical location. A clinical diagnostic hypothesis of thrombus was considered in 4.2% of cases. Oral thrombi were uncommon lesions in the studied population, with a higher occurrence among females in the seventh decade of life. This study provides a clinicopathological profile of oral and maxillofacial thrombi and offers information that may assist clinicians in establishing a diagnosis.
