This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of oral and maxillofacial pathology laboratories (OMPLs) in Brazilian public universities to the diagnosis of lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A cross-sectional study was performed using biopsy records from a consortium of sixteen public OMPLs from all regions of Brazil (North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast, and South). Clinical and demographic data of patients diagnosed with lip, oral cavity, and oropharyngeal SCC between 2010 and 2019 were collected from the patients' histopathological records.

Article Synopsis
- This multicenter study analyzed 1,341 cases of odontogenic keratocysts from 1,169 patients to explore differences between non-syndromic and syndromic cases, including recurrence rates.
- The study found that non-syndromic cases were more common, with the posterior mandible being the most affected site, and noted that most lesions were unilocular and asymptomatic.
- Conservative treatment was the most frequently used, and recurrences were rare; the study highlighted that clinical features could vary significantly between syndromic and non-syndromic patients.
