Oral lesions in children/teenagers: a cross-sectional study of 225 reports in a pathology service in Amazon.

Background: Epidemiologic studies of oral lesions in pediatric patients are scarce in Brazil, and especially in the northern region of the country. We aim to describe the distributions of oral lesions in children and teenagers diagnosed in a Pathology service of Amazon for over 15 years.

Methods: The oral pathology files were retrospectively retrieved from January 2002 to December 2016 of patients younger than 18 years old at the Pathology Service of the Federal University of Amazonas.
